Abstract

Adding/removing text

In the abstract (the Introduction), an incorrect sentence was provided. This has been corrected to read:

Polynesian AI (or Poly AI) is prevalent among people of Polynesian descent including New Zealand Māori. While the impact of AI on the quality of life has been reported in some studies, the role of Poly AI on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) is not known.

The original version of this article has been updated.

Adding/removing text

In the abstract (the Methods), an incorrect sentence was provided. This has been corrected to read:

30 Māori children and adolescents with Poly AI, and 60 age and sex matched Māori children and adolescents with no Poly AI (as the comparison group) were randomly selected and recruited to participate in the study.

The original version of this article has been updated.

Adding/removing text

In the abstract (the Discussion), an incorrect sentence was provided. This has been corrected to read:

Further research among Polynesian populations is needed to understand the impact of Poly AI on OHRQoL.
