Correction to: Clinical Oral Investigations

https://doi.org/10.1007/s00784-015-1553-x

The authors are correcting this article because they accidentally included some wrong data in the analysis.

The first paragraph of Results should now be worded as follows:

“... In the control group, the mean age was 29.5±5.0 years, mean gestation period 39.7±1.1 weeks, and the mean newborn weight was 3371±417 g. In the case group, the mean age was 29.6±6.1 years, mean gestation 35.4±1.8 weeks, and mean newborn weight 2343±414 g; in this group, 17 children had normal weight (≥2500 g) but <37 weeks of gestation, 8 children weighed <2500 g but were full-term deliveries, while 42 children weighed <2500 g and were preterm deliveries”.

The second paragraph of results should be deleted (“Although the difference in CA loss between cases and 31 controls was significant in the unadjusted analysis, statistical 32 significance was lost after adjustment for socioeconomic level 33 and tobacco use (p = 0.249).”)

The modified Table 1 (below) should exchange Table 1.
