• 2. Results on page 4 under subtitle ‘Prevalence and distribution’, last sentence: ‘In total (18–75 years), a higher proportion of Sámi had one or more PD ≥ 6 mm compared to non-Sámi (p < 0.05.);

• 3. Discussion on page 5, third paragraph, second sentence: ‘A larger proportion of Sámi had one or more PD ≥ 6 mm compared to non-Sámi, with no ethnic difference in prevalence of PD ≥ 4 mm and PD ≥ 6 mm’;

• 4. Abstract on page 1 under results, last sentence: ‘A higher proportion of Sámi had one or more PD ≥ 6 mm than the non-Sámi (p < 0.05)’;
