‘The mechanical function of the periodontal ligament in the macaque mandible: a validation and sensitivity study using finite element analysis’ by O. Panagiotopoulou, K. Kupczik and S.N. Cobb
The above article (doi: 10.1111/j.1469-7580.2010.01257.x) together with its associated Expression of Concern (doi: 10.1111/joa.12149) from Journal of Anatomy has been retracted by agreement between the authors, the Journal's co-Editors-in-Chief Julia Clarke, Thomas Gillingwater, Anthony Graham and Stefan Milz, the Anatomical Society and John Wiley & Sons Ltd. The action has been agreed due to the fact that there are errors in the validation protocol and data, and the finite element analysis data and results.
Expression of concern: Journal of Anatomy, 224: 527. doi: 10.1111/joa.12149.
