Atraumatic restorative treatment compared to the Hall Technique for occluso-proximal carious lesions in primary molars; 36-month follow-up of a randomised control trial in a school setting
(2020)Background: Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) and the Hall Technique (HT) are both minimally invasive, non-aerosol generating procedures (non-AGPs). They seem to have never been directly compared, nor has the HT been ... -
Attitudes to remote patient monitoring among orthodontists in Ireland - a qualitative study
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Dental Sciences. Discipline of Dental Science, 2023)Aims: The aim of the study was to explore the attitudes to remote patient monitoring among orthodontists in Ireland. Methods: A descriptive, qualitative study was conducted involving a purposive sample of orthodontists ... -
Automated Decontamination of Multiple Washbasin U-bends in a Hospital Setting Using Electrochemically Activated Solutions: Exploring the Role U-bends and the Wastewater Network Plays in the Trafficking of Potentially Pathogenic Bacteria in a Healthcare Facility
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Dental Sciences. Discipline of Dental Science, 2020)Hand washing is a vital component of any hand hygiene strategy, essential for reducing nosocomial infections. Paradoxically, hand washbasins have been identified as reservoirs and disseminators of infection. Washbasin ... -
Autophagy as a therapeutic target to enhance chemotherapy in oral squamous cell carcinoma
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Dental Sciences. Discipline of Dental Science, 2021)Oral cancer is the 15th most common cancer worldwide and oral squamous cell carcinoma accounts for 90% of oral cancer cases. Current therapeutic interventions for OSCC include surgical intervention with radiation therapy ... -
AVIAN-ASSOCIATED AND HUMAN ISOLATES OF Candida dubliniensis ARE GENETICALLY DISTINCT
(2009)When Candida dubliniensis isolates obtained from seabird excrement and from humans in Ireland were compared by using multilocs sequence typing, 13 of 14 avian isolates were genetically distinct from human isolates. The ... -
AZOLE SUSCEPTIBILITY AND RESISTANCE IN CANDIDA DUBLINIENSIS
(2005)Candida dubliniensis is a recently described species of pathogenic yeast that shares many phenotypic features with Candida albicans. It is primarily associated with oral colonization and infection in HIV-infected individuals. ... -
Base-metal dental casting alloy biocompatibility assessment using a human-derived 3D oral mucosal model
(2012)Nickel-chromium (Ni-Cr) alloys used in fixed prosthodontics have been associated with type IV nickel-induced hypersensitivity. We hypothesized the full-thickness human-derived oral mucosa model employed for biocompatibility ... -
Behavioral analysis of Brazilian children participating in the “Baby’s Little Mouth Program” at Gurupi-Tocantins
(2017)The behavioral response of the child has been studied in some researches and is useful to predict how the child reacts to dental treatment, especially infants and young children, which is one of the greatest challenges of ... -
Biocompatibility of non-precious dental casting alloys : development of novel testing mechanisms
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2011)The aim of the present investigation was to investigate the biocompatibility potential of commercially available non-precious dental casting alloys facilitated by multiple analyses using a two-dimensional (2D) oral ... -
CANDIDA ALBICANS VERSUS CANDIDA DUBLINIENSIS: WHY IS C. ALBICANS MORE PATHOGENIC?
(2012)Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis are highly related pathogenic yeast species. However, C. albicans is far more prevalent in human infection and has been shown to be more pathogenic in a wide range of infection ... -
The Candida albicans-Specific Gene EED1 Encodes a Key Regulator of Hyphal Extension
(2011)The extension of germ tubes into elongated hyphae by Candida albicans is essential for damage of host cells. The C. albicans-specific gene EED1 plays a crucial role in this extension and maintenance of filamentous growth. ... -
Candida dubliniensis: An update
(1999)The increased incidence of fungal infections during the last decade has been well-documented. Given that one of the most important factors contributing to this phenomenon is the increased numbers of immunocompromised ... -
Characterisation of Candida albicans populations associated with chronic hyperplastic candidosis (Candida leukoplakia) and non-Candida leukoplakia lesions in patients presenting with oral leukoplakic lesions in Ireland
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2011)Oral squamous cell carcinoma is a significant global health problem, affecting about a half of a million people worldwide annually. Oral leukoplakic lesions have been reported to have significantly increased potential for ... -
Characterisation of Staphylococcal and Candida Populations from Healthy and Diseased Oral and Subgingival Sites Reveals a High Prevalence and Diversity of the Arginine Catabolic Mobile Element ACME in Staphylococcus epidermidis
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Dental Sciences. Discipline of Dental Science, 2018)The oral cavity harbours a diverse microbiological population, that exists mainly as plaque biofilm, the accumulation of which is associated with oral diseases such as periodontal disease and peri-implantitis. Traditionally, ... -
CHARACTERIZATION OF A NOVEL ARGININE CATABOLIC MOBILE ELEMENT (ACME) AND STAPHYLOCOCCAL CHROMOSOMAL CASSETTE mec COMPOSITE ISLAND WITH SIGNIFICANT HOMOLOGY TO STAPHYLOCOCCUS EPIDERMIDIS ACME TYPE II IN METHICILLIN-RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS GENOTYPE ST22-MRSA-IV
(2011)The arginine catabolic mobile element (ACME) is prevalent among ST8-MRSA-IVa (USA300) isolates and evidence suggests that ACME enhances the ability of ST8-MRSA-IVa to grow and survive on its host. ACME has been identified ... -
