Abstract

Borglin L, Pekarski S, Saget S, Duane B. The life cycle analysis of a dental examination: Quantifying the environmental burden of an examination in a hypothetical dental practice. Community Dent Oral Epidemiol. 2021;49:581–593. https://doi.org/10.1111/cdoe.12630

When calculating the amount of electricity used in a dental examination, specifically the dental unit use, there was an error in the calculation. The correct amount of electricity consumed from the dental unit is 0.169 kWh (not 1.15 kWh). This error affects the results and figures published but not the overall discussion and conclusion of the article.

We apologize for this error.

Attached are the corrected figures and tables. (Tables 2 and 3)

Appendix 2. Life cycle inventory

A summary of the average time, energy and water usage of an examination and the estimated usage time of instruments during each procedure. Adapted from (Duane et al. 2014).

Appendix 3 Table showing the figures of the contribution of each process for all impact categories. See Figure 2 for the relative graph of these results.

期刊介绍： The aim of Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology is to serve as a forum for scientifically based information in community dentistry, with the intention of continually expanding the knowledge base in the field. The scope is therefore broad, ranging from original studies in epidemiology, behavioral sciences related to dentistry, and health services research through to methodological reports in program planning, implementation and evaluation. Reports dealing with people of all age groups are welcome. The journal encourages manuscripts which present methodologically detailed scientific research findings from original data collection or analysis of existing databases. Preference is given to new findings. Confirmations of previous findings can be of value, but the journal seeks to avoid needless repetition. It also encourages thoughtful, provocative commentaries on subjects ranging from research methods to public policies. Purely descriptive reports are not encouraged, nor are behavioral science reports with only marginal application to dentistry. The journal is published bimonthly.
