Munk’s test results of both groups during follow-up three months.

Munk’s test	EG1	EG2	value
	n = 25	n = 20
	Mean ± SD
	Median(range)
Before treatment	3.4 ± 1.1	3.1 + 1	0.09
	4(2–5)	3(1–5)
One week after treatment	3.1 ± 1	1 ± 1	<0.001
	4(0–4)	2(0–5)
One month after treatment	2.1 ± 1	1.1 ± 1	<0.001
	2(0–4)	2(1–4)
Three months after treatment	3.2 ± 1	1.4 ± 1.6	<0.003
	2.5(1–4)	2(0–3)
Value	<0.002	<0.003

-value calculates the significant difference of the Munk’s test between the EG1 and the EG2 and was calculated by Mann–Whitney U test, value calculates the significant difference in the Munk’s test in the EG1 and EG2 group before treatment and 3 months after treatment and was calculated by Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test.
