Sir, I read the opinion paper by Pamela Ward The changing skill mix – experiences on the introduction of the dental therapist into general dental practice (BDJ 2006; 200: 193–197) with interest. Nevertheless, as the editor of the journal concerned, I would like to point out an error. The paper contains a sentence which begins 'However, both the BDA (Vital) and the FGDP (Primary Care) have begun to produce journals for the whole dental team...'

The journal concerned is Team in Practice and not Primary Care. Primary Dental Care is the journal of the FGDP. I would be most grateful if you could publish this correction as soon as possible.
