In the published article, “Properties of Experimental Dental Composites Containing Antibacterial Silver-Releasing Filler” [1], we found two editing errors. The Vickers hardness was calculated according to equation 7 of reference [1], but HV should be in the place of E in reference [1]:

 HV= 1.8544×Fd2  (7)

Moreover, F was the load in kgf, not in N, as it was previously described in reference [1].

We also found an editing error in Figure 6 of reference [1]. The axis should be described as “Vickers microhardness, kgf/mm2”, not “Vickers microhardness, MPa”.

Figure 6.

Figure 6

Mean Vickers microhardness values with standard deviations; different lowercase letters show significantly different results at the p < 0.05 level.

The changes do not affect the results. The values were correct. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused and we would like to thank the editorial office for publishing the correction. The manuscript will be updated and the original will remain online on the article webpage, with a reference to this Correction.
