OFBDDSS scores	57.12 ± 14.59	52.58 ± 12.52	53.95 ± 9.52	1.362	0.260
Self - overall appearance evaluation scores	5.50 ± 0.82	5.18 ± 0.77	5.48 ± 0.68	1.858	0.161
SF-36 scores	40.15 ± 3.68	39.00 ± 2.69	40.91 ± 3.36	0.765	0.472

Significantly different among groups (P < 0.05).
Values are demonstrated as n (%) for chi-square or Fisher’s exact tests, as the mean ± standard deviations for one-way ANOVA test and as Median, (Quartil ₂₅, Quartil ₇₅) for Kruskal-Wails H test.
FPS-R, Faces Pain Scale-Revised; VAS, visual analogue scale; NRS, Numerical rating scale; OFBDDSS, Oral-Facial Body Dysmorphic Disorder Self-Scale; SF-36, short-form 36 health survey questionnaire.
