Prevalence of Periodontal Bone Loss in Brazilian Adolescents through Interproximal Radiography

Table 2

Distribution of bone loss types according to the gender.

Gender	Bone loss
	Horizontal; 𝑁 (%)	Vertical; 𝑁 (%)	Horizontal + Vertical; Bone loss 𝑁 (%)
Man (𝑛=107)	14 (13.1)	2 (1.87)	16 (14.95)*
Woman (𝑛=219)	15 (6.8)	3 (1.4)	18 (8.2)
Total (𝑛=326)	29 (8.9)^#	5 (1.5)	34 (10.4)

* P = 0.03 (comparison between genders); ^#𝑃<0.0001 (comparison between horizontal versus vertical bone loss). Binomial test for comparison of proportions (𝑃<0.05 indicates statistically significant difference).
