The authors regret that in the above published article there were errors. The corrected information should be as follows:
In the paragraph of Result in abstract, ‘‘The test–retest consistency in terms of the oral physiological condition (Axis I) after data
reduction was 0.63 for patients with teeth problems, 0.95 for partially edentulous patients, and 0.62 for edentulous patients.’’ should
read ‘‘The test–retest consistency in terms of the oral physiological condition (Axis I) after data reduction was 0.82 for patients with
teeth problems, 0.73 for partially edentulous patients, and 0.78 for edentulous patients.’’
In the paragraph of 7.3. Reliability of the four-point assessment of treatment difficulty indices after data reduction on p. 77, ‘‘The
test–retest consistency in terms of the oral characteristics (Axis I) after the data reduction were 0.63 (kw) for the patients with teeth
problem, 0.95 (kw) for the partially edentulous patients, and 0.62 (kw) for the edentulous patients.’’ should read ‘‘The test–retest
consistency in terms of the oral characteristics (Axis I) after the data reduction were 0.82 (kw) for the patients with teeth problem,
0.73 (kw) for the partially edentulous patients, and 0.78 (kw) for the edentulous patients.’’
