Alcohol consumption modulates Candida albicans-induced oral carcinogenesis and progression
(2023)Objectives: This study aimed to determine the impact of low levels of alcohol consumption on the interaction of the oral cavity with Candida albicans, a species that is commonly found at higher levels in the oral cavities ... -
An evaluation of the Bicon implant system using short implants : patient experience and implant success in the short term
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2009)The aim of this study was to evaluate the success of short Bicon implants, patient experience in relation to implant placement and patient satisfaction with treatment in the short term. 45 hydroxyapatite coated short Bicon ... -
An investigation into the biofilm-associated bacterial contamination of dental chair units and dental unit output water supplies and its control
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2005)Many modern medical devices, including dental chair units (DCUs), are potential reservoirs of infection as they can harbour biofilm-associated microorganisms. This study investigated several aspects of DCUs related to ... -
An investigation into the molecular epidemiology of Candida dubliniensis
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2002)Candida dubliniensis is a recently described Candida species primarily associated with oral candidosis in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HlV)-infected and AIDS patients. The population structure of C. dubliniensis was ... -
An investigation into the relative adhesion of Candida dubliniensis and Candida albicans to human cells and extracellular matrix proteins
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2009)Candida dubliniensis is a germ tube-positive, chlamydospore-producing yeast species originally recovered from the oral cavities of HIV-infected individuals and AIDS patients and first described in 1995. It is closely related ... -
An investigation on the effects of non surgical periodontal treatment of chronic periodontitis on the levels of C reactive protein, IL-6 and IL-10 as measured in blood, saliva and gingival crevicular fluid
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2012)Cardiovascular disease is one of the main causes of morbidity in the western world. As well as common risk factors for developing this disease, several other potential contributors have been suggested. One of these is ... -
Analysis of morphogenesis and chlamydospore formation by Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2010)Candida dubliniensis is the species that is most closely related to Candida albicans. Despite their close phylogenetic relatedness, epidemiological and infection model data suggest that C. albicans is a far more successful ... -
Analysis of the oral bacteriome and mycobiome in children with inflammatory bowel disease compared to healthy children by 16S and ITS2 profiling
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Dental Sciences. Discipline of Dental Science, 2019)Abstract Aims: This study aimed to analyse the oral mucosal microbiota (bacteria and fungi) in paediatric IBD patients. The mucosa was selected rather than the saliva as this is the region where tissue and immune cells ... -
Anchorage loss and root resorption associated with two anchorage reinforcement methods in a dog model
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2012)Intra-oral anchorage reinforcement methods are crucial for the success and outcome of orthodontic treatment. This thesis reports on the efficacy of two different types of intra-oral anchorage reinforcement methods; Nance ... -

Aspects of Dose Optimisation and Diagnostic Efficacy Relating to Dental Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)
The increasing acceptance of CBCT as a standard form of dental diagnostic imaging is based upon its ability to produce multiplanar cross-sectional (3D) images at a level of resolution that, while not as high as conventional ... -
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
