2.5.7. Statistical Analysis

All of the analyses were performed using statistical program (SPSS ver. 21.0). Mean and SDs of ISQ values and of BIC and ITBD values were calculated for each group. Comparisons of ISQ values between the experimental and control groups were made using the Mann-Whitney U test. The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to test the normalities of distributions, and then one-way ANOVA was used to compare group BICs, ITBDs, and bone growths. *Post hoc* testing was performed using Bonferroni's test using a significance level of 95%.
