RETRACTED: The effect of dental overbite on eustachian tube dysfunction in Iranian children

This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief. Please see http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy.Reason: It has come to light that substantial portions of this article are identical or very similar to the following article: J.P. Mcdonnell, H.L. Needleman, S Charchut, E.N Allred, D.W. Roberson, M.A. Kenna, et al., The relationship between dental overbite and Eustachian tube dysfunction, Laryngoscope 111 (2001) 310–316.The Editor-in-Chief is satisfied that the author of the retracted article did not willfully intend to plagiarize the Laryngoscope article, but rather to replicate the original study with a different sample. Even so, the Editor-in-Chief believes that the degree of identical or similar text throughout, without proper referencing to the Laryngoscope article, is misleading to the reader.For this reason the Editor-in-Chief has concluded that it is appropriate to retract the article.
