Table 2 The type of total deviation observed from students. The positive total deviation was recorded when the amount of over-excavation was greater than that of under-excavation, and vice versa for the negative total deviation
Cavities/type of deviation | Positive total deviation | Negative total deviation | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
Occlusal cavities | 45 (73.8%) | 16 (26.2%) | 61 (100%) |
Proximal cavities | 53 (86.9%) | 8 (13.1%) | 61 (100%) |
