Correction to: BDJ Open 10.1038/s41405-021-00082-5, published online 17 July 2021

When originally published on 17 July 2021, there was an incorrect value in the ‘Articaine safety’ section: ‘Malamed et al.’s 2001’s multi-centre trial involving the comparison of 2% lidocaine with 4% articaine on 1325 patients aged 4–8 years of age found that articaine was well-tolerated and safe for use in routine clinical dentistry’ should have read ‘Malamed et al.’s 2001’s multi-centre trial involving the comparison of 2% lidocaine with 4% articaine on 1325 patients aged 4–80 years of age found that articaine was well-tolerated and safe for use in routine clinical dentistry.’
