Results: There were 1,200 participants in the study, with 40.8% of men and 59.2% of women. Between the ages of 20 and 30, 54.3% of the population is between the ages of 20 and 30. Other than wisdom teeth, 61.8% of all subjects had tooth/molar teeth removed. 61.3% of the individuals have had root canal therapy in the past.
