Derya Sarıoğlu, Zehra Güner. Correction: Assessment of contact area variations in primary molars of children based on the OXIS classification.Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry,2026,50(2):229-229 DOI:10.22514/jocpd.2026.053
In the article titled “Assessment of contact area variations in primary molars of children based on the OXIS classification” [1], published in November 2025, there is an error in the rendering of Table 1 (Diagrammatic representation of contact area variations according to the OXIS classification [6]).
The initial galley proof or early version showed the table starting with the O-Open Contact row highlighted or boxed incorrectly, and some diagrams/descriptions (such as the placement or rendering of the X, I, and S shapes, including any unintended red lines or misalignments) did not match the intended layout.
The correct representation should read:
| OXIS classification types | Features |
| O-Open Contact When there is no contact between the primary molars. | |
| X-shaped contact When there is a point of contact (</=1.5 mm) between the primary molars. | |
| I-shaped contact When there is a straight contact (>/=1.5 mm) between the primary molars. | |
| S-shaped contact When there is a straight contact (>1.5 mm) between the primary molars. |
This correction addresses a formatting/layout issue during proofreading and does not affect the scientific content, data, results, prevalence findings, or conclusions of the article.
