Table 4 Frequency analysis of main descriptive parameters showed homogeneity of the investigated population in this examination. In all parameters, statistic equality was demonstrated between the empty defect (ED) and nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite paste (NCHA) treatment group (P>0.05). Comparing the frequency of gender in the groups demonstrated equality in (A) all patients, in the (B) ED, and in the (C) NCHA group. Comparing age, divided into 2 groups, showed equality in (D) all patients, in the (E) ED, and in the (F) NCHA group. Statistical analysis of the frequency of affected side in (G) all patients, in the (H) ED, and in the (I) NCHA group demonstrated homogeneity.
