Data were analyzed using non-parametric tests such as Mann–Whitney test, Kruskal–Wallis rank test, and Spearman’s correlation. Results: There was a statistically significant correlation between dental care compliance and the area of good impression (r=0.187, p<0.001), support for interpersonal support (r=0.346, p<0.001), and dissatisfaction (r=0.304, p<0.001).
