| Summary: | Research into dental treatment via statistical perspective was unraveled through a relation between
theoretical and experimental probability. This assessment of association was examined using statistical test
over Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Latent Class Analysis (LCA). Theoretical results of the prevailing
difference between the direct and indirect upshot was verified through a technique known as integrated
model by using Mplus® software package. The results expressively show that the dental treatment from the
indirect effect has better performance than the direct effect. Besides that, there is a dramatic
improvement of dental treatment from different type of malocclusion analysis. Three classes of different
type of malocclusion analysis play an important role as mediator for demographic variable and type of
dental treatment. |
