Abstract

J. L. Calvo-Guirado, G. Gómez-Moreno, A. Aguilar-Salvatierra, J. Guardia, R. A. Delgado-Ruiz, G. E. Romanos, "Marginal bone loss evaluation around immediate non-occlusal microthreaded implants placed in fresh extraction sockets in the maxilla: a 3-year study", Clinical Oral Implants Research 26, no. 7 (2015): 761-767, https://doi.org/10.1111/clr.12336 The above article, published online on 15 January 2014 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the journal's Editor in Chief, Lisa J. A. Heitz-Mayfield; and John Wiley & Sons Ltd.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, instances of overlapping data within the article and with another publication authored by the same group have been found. 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 and co-author R. A. Delgado-Ruiz disagree with the decision of retraction. The remaining co-authors were not available for a final confirmation of the retraction.
