General article (BDJ 2013; 214: 123–125)

In the above article, the surname of the dental historian Ronald Cohen (and his wife Muriel) is misspelt throughout as 'Cohan'. The correct spelling is 'Cohen'.

In Figure 1 in the same article, the correct labelling of the three people depicted in the photo are, from left to right, Professor Nairn Wilson, Dr Stuart Robson and Dr Margaret Wilson.

The author apologises for any inconvenience that may have been caused.
