Abstract

The knowledge of statistical analysis is essential before planning any research study or undergoing any orthodontic treatment. Clinical studies often compare the efficacy of a new treatment in a study group with the efficacy of conventional treatment or with a control group. Aside from a pure description, we should know whether the observed differences between the treatment groups are just random or are really present. This article informs the reader about frequently used statistical tests and their application in orthodontics and also provides a brief overview of the type of statistical tests to analyze research data with its examples.
