Text Correction

There was an error in the original publication [1]. Some written errors need to be corrected.

A correction has been made to the following sections:

Abstract:

“Most (76.6%) had BEWE (basic erosive wear examination) of 0–2.”

Results, Paragraph 3:

“Large proportion of conscripts examined, 38.1%, had the first signs of erosive tooth wear (BEWE 1–2) visible in their dentition.”

Discussion, Paragraph 3:

“On the other hand, the results suggest also that the reason for third molar extraction was more often something other indication than the need for restorative treatment.”

Table Legend

In the original publication, there was a mistake in the legend for Table 4. The correct legend appears below.

Table 4. Distribution of BEWE score values.

Error in Table

In the original publication, there was a mistake in Table 2 as published. The data are misplaced. The corrected Table 2 appears below.
