(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2010)The aim of the present study was to examine the dental health status of pre-school children with disabilities in the Republic of Ireland. The objectives of this study were to record the dental health status of a sample ... -
The efficacy of irradiation protocol and irradiation distance on resin-based composite performance
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2008)The objective of the current study was to investigate the efficiency of the overlapping irradiation regime for resin-based composites (RBCs) in ISO 4049 by modifying the irradiation protocol. To exacerbate the potential ... -
The influence of pre-operative antibiotic administration on post-operative morbidity in dental implant placement
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2009)The success of dental implants for the rehabilitation of both the partially and fully edentulous patient is well documented in the scientific literature. There are no clear guidelines on the use of prophylactic antibiotics ... -
The predictive value of patient-based questionnaires in treatment of edentulism
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2014)Edentulism is a common chronic disabling condition that impacts on an individual’s health, self-perception and social interaction. Although edentulous people present with a wide range of functional and psychological needs, ... -
The role of hyphae and hypha-associated genes in the pathogenesis of Candida dubliniensis
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2014)Candida albicans is a major cause of superficial and systemic fungal infections in humans. In contrast, its most closely related phylogenetic neighbour, Candida dubliniensis, causes disease much less frequently, despite ... -
The strengthening of resin cemented dental ceramic materials
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2013)The aim of the current investigation was to advance the understanding of the mechanism of resin-strengthening conferred to dental ceramic materials by resin-based composite materials. The investigation is presented as a ... -
The telomere-associated (TLO) genes of Candida dubliniensis
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2014)Candida species are members of the Saccharomycetuceae and are the most common cause of fungal infections in humans. Diseases caused by these yeasts range from superficial infections (e.g. oropharyngeal & vulvovaginal ... -
To investigate whether a diagnostic classification of edentulism relates to oral health related quality of life, nutritional status and denture satisfaction
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2012)This study sought to investigate if diagnostic complexity of edentulism relates to oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL), nutritional status and denture satisfaction. Further, to identify whether new conventional ... -
Tooth agenesis in patients referred to an Irish tertiary care clinic for the developmental dental disorders

Total tooth loss and oral health service use among older people with intellectual disabilities in Ireland
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Dental Sciences. Discipline of Dental Science, 2017)Background and rationale As the population with Intellectual Disabilities (ID) age, the challenges to their successful ageing are unclear. It is important to understand how this population age: how their health changes ... -
Transcript profiling reveals rewiring of iron assimilation gene expression in Candida albicans and C. dubliniensis
(2012)Hyphal growth is repressed in Candida albicans and C. dubliniensis by the transcription factor Nrg1. Transcript profiling of a C. dubliniensis NRG1 mutant identified a common group of 28 NRG1 repressed genes in both species, ... -
Transcriptional profiling of suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) regulated genes in mineralizing dental pulp cells at early and late time points
(2015)Dental pulp tissue can be damaged by a range of irritants, however, if the irritation is removed and/or the tooth is adequately restored, pulp regeneration is possible (Mjör and Tronstad, 1974 [1]). At present, dental ... -
Transient and residual stresses induced during the sintering of two dentin ceramics.
(Elsevier, 2011)Objective: The effect of heat-pressing and subsequent pre-cementation (acid-etching) and resin-cementation operative techniques on the development of transient and residual stresses in different thicknesses of a lithium ... -
