Statistical methodology in oral and dental research: Pitfalls and recommendationsAilish Hannigan
Biomedical Statistics, Graduate Entry Medical School, University of Limerick, Limerick, Ireland Statistical Advisor, Journal of Dentistry Electronic address
J Dent 41:385-92. 2013..This study describes the pitfalls for commonly used statistical techniques in dental research and gives some recommendations for avoiding them. It also explores the potential of some of the newer statistical techniques for dental research...
A caries susceptibility classification of tooth surfaces by survival timeA Hannigan
Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Limerick, Ireland
Caries Res 34:103-8. 2000..It is concluded that the cluster analysis method developed for grouping the tooth surfaces cn provide a useful descriptive measure of caries susceptibility which can be applied to data from any longitudinal study of caries...
A re-analysis of a caries clinical trial by survival analysisA Hannigan
Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Limerick, Ireland
J Dent Res 80:427-31. 2001..It is concluded that survival analysis uses most of the data available in a caries clinical trial, an outcome measure that is easily understood and may lead to a more sensitive method of analysis...
Using survival methodologies in demonstrating caries efficacyA Hannigan
Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Limerick, Ireland
J Dent Res 83:C99-102. 2004..Further research is required to investigate if survival analysis is a more sensitive method of analysis, i.e., whether causative factors can be identified with fewer subjects than with the conventional method of analysis...
Chewing side preferences in childrenS T Mc Donnell
Oral Health and Development, University Dental School and Hospital, Cork, Ireland
J Oral Rehabil 31:855-60. 2004..Coincidence occurred in 56% of children. There was a statistically significant association between state of the dentition and coincidence (P=0.02). Children in pain were most likely to show coincidence (kappa=0.81)...
