Abstract

J. L. Calvo-Guirado, G. Gómez-Moreno, L. López-Marí, J. Guardia, B. Negri, J. M. Martínez-González, "Crestal bone loss evaluation in osseotite expanded platform implants: a 5-year study", Clinical Oral Implants Research 22, no. 22 (2011): 1409-1414, https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1600-0501.2010.02130.x The above article, published online on 21 March 2011 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the journal's Editor in Chief, Lisa J. A. Heitz-Mayfield; and John Wiley & Sons Ltd. The retraction has been agreed due to concerns raised by third parties on the data presented in the article. Several flaws and inconsistencies between results presented and experimental methods described were found. Specifically, there are instances of overlapping data within the article and with another publication authored by the same group. Accordingly, the editors consider the findings of this article unreliable and the conclusions to be invalid. The authors have been informed of the decision to retract the article. The corresponding author J. L. Calvo-Guirado disagrees with the decision of retraction. The remaining co-authors were not available for a final confirmation of the retraction.
