Pvalue calculates the significant difference of Munk’s test between EG1 and EG2 and was calculated by Mann–Whitney U test. P1 value calculates the significant difference of Munk’s test in the EG1 and EG2 group before treatment and six weeks after treatment and was calculated by Wilcoxon signed-ranks test.
