The above article appeared in J Appl Biomater Funct Mater 2014;12(1):13–20. The studies under the clinical trial set forth in the article were performed with a large group of co-investigators. The principal investigator of the clinical trial is not listed as a co-author of this article and he asserts he has not validated the accuracy of the data presented in the article. Further, co-investigators who are unnamed authors of this article have produced manuscripts with data from the clinical trial.
Being the duty of authors to submit works which have not been published in whole or in part elsewhere, and upon notification of the above dispute by the lead author, the article has been retracted.
