Retracted: A new procedure for processing extracted teeth for immediate grafting in post-extraction sockets. An experimental study in American Fox Hound dogs (Annals of Anatomy (2018) 217 (14-23), (S0940960218300128), (10.1016/j.aanat.2017.12.010))

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/our-business/policies/article-withdrawal). This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief. Figures published in this article were not only used several times without citation in two subsequent other studies published in journal Dent. J. 2018, 6, 12; doi:10.3390/dj6020012 and in journal Appl. Sci. 2020, 10, 3006; doi:10.3390/app10093006 which have now been retracted, but the images were also manipulated and used for different results. As an example, see Fig. 4 and Fig. 7 from the Annals of Anatomy. Fig 4 was demonstrated as SEM "Image of bone formation inside a socket filled with MP3 modified with pamidronate at 4 weeks". The legend of Fig. 7 shows the image as "SEM Image of bone formation inside a socket filled with MP3 modified with pamidronate at 8 weeks". However, Fig. 7 is only a higher magnification of Fig. 4. If you enlarge Fig. 4 to the same ratio as Fig. 7, you will quickly find the place in Fig. 4 from which Fig. 7 was copied (see below). The manuscript contains a number of other manipulations as well as some absolutely identical text passages with the other two manuscripts mentioned. Although this article was published earlier than the other articles, the Editor decided to retract this article given concerns about the reliability of the data.
