The normality of the data distribution was tested using the Lilliefors test and the Shapiro-Wilk test. Variables are presented as median (interquartile range), and values were computed using the Kruskal-Wallis test due to the nonnormality of the variables. Post hoc analysis was performed using the Bonferroni correction, and the adjusted values are presented as below: value [1] computed between apical and middle. value [2] computed between apical and coronal. value [3] computed between middle and coronal. , , .
