LACK OF CYTOTOXICITY BY TRUSTWATER ECASOL? USED TO MAINTAIN GOOD QUALITY DENTAL UNIT WATERLINE OUTPUT WATER IN KERATINOCYTE MONOLAYER AND RECONSTITUTED HUMAN ORAL EPITHELIAL TISSUE MODELS
(2010)Summary: We previously showed that residual treatment of dental chair unit (DCU) supply water using the electrochemically-activated solution Trustwater Ecasol? (2.5 ppm) provided an effective long-term solution to the ... -
Longitudinal analysis of treatment of peri-implant disease utilizing magnetic resonance frequency and damping capacity analysis.
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Dental Sciences. Discipline of Dental Science, 2020)Background: Peri-implant disease has the potential to cause loss of implant stability and subsequent implant failure. Non-invasive, quantitative measures of implant stability offered by Osstell® and Periotest® devices may ... -
A longitudinal study of Staphylococcus aureus colonization in pigs in Ireland.
(2014)The emergence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in livestock has refocused attention on S. aureus colonization and transmission in pigs. This study investigated the effect of the S. aureus colonization ... -
MANAGEMENT OF DENTAL UNIT WATERLINE BIOFILMS IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY
(2011)Dental chair units (DCUs) use water to cool and irrigate DCU-supplied instruments and tooth surfaces and provide rinsewater during dental treatment. A complex network of interconnected plastic dental unit waterlines (DUWLs) ... -
Measurement of dental implant stability by Osstell and Periotest at three different time points: Correlation between the two devices and comparison with clinical characteristics
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Dental Sciences. Discipline of Dental Science, 2020)Abstract Measurement of dental implant stability by Osstell and Periotest at three different time points: Correlation between the two devices and comparison with clinical characteristics. Background: Implant stability is ... -
Mechanical testing protocols as performance indicators for glass-ionomers
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2015)The aim of the current investigation was to identify a reproducible and discriminatory mechanical testing methodology to act as a performance indicator for glass-ionomers (GIs). The investigation is presented as a series ... -
Medication related osteonecrosis of the jaws: Prospective cohort study analysing the aetiology, microbiology, and response to surgical debridement with adjunctive leucocyte and platelet rich fibrin (L-PRF)
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Dental Sciences. Discipline of Dental Science, 2018)Background Bisphosphonates and RANK ligand inhibitors are antiresorptive medications which are prescribed for the treatment of osteoporosis and bone metastases. These medications inhibit osteoclastic action thereby ... -
METICILLIN-RSISTANT Staphylococcus aureus TRANSMISSION AMONG HEALTHCARE WORKERS, PATIENTS AND THE ENVIRONMENT IN A LARGE ACUTE HOSPITAL UNDER NON-OUTBREAK CONDITIONS INVESTIGATED BY WHOLE-GENOME SEQUENCING
(2021)Background: The role of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization of healthcare workers (HCWs), patients and the hospital environment in MRSA transmission in non-outbreak settings is poorly understood. Aims: ... -
Meticillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus transmission among healthcare workers, patients and the environment in a large acute hospital under non-outbreak conditions investigated using whole-genome sequencing
(2022)Background: The role of meticillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) colonization of healthcare workers (HCWs), patients and the hospital environment in MSSA transmission events (TEs) is poorly understood. Aims: ... -
MICROBIOLOGICAL SCREENING OF IRISH AUTOIMMUNE POLYENDOCRINOPATHY-CANDIDIASIS-ECTODERMAL DYSTROPHY (APECED) PATIENTS REVEALS PERSISTENCE OF CANDIDA ALBICANS STRAINS, GRADUAL REDUCTION IN SUSCEPTIBILITY TO AZOLES AND INCIDENCES OF CLINICAL SIGNS OF ORAL CANDIDIASIS WITHOUT CULTURE EVIDENCE
(2011)Patients with Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathy Candidiasis Ectodermal Dystrophy (APECED) are prone to chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis, which is often treated with azoles. The purpose of this study was to characterize the ... -
microRNA, Dental Pulp Cell Mineralisation and Therapeutic Epigenetic Modification
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Dental Sciences. Discipline of Dental Science, 2022)Current clinical approaches to the management of deep caries and symptomatic pulpitis are destructive and costly, generally involving removal of the entire pulp as part of a root canal treatment (RCT) procedure. Contemporary ... -
Minimisation of Microbial Reservoirs and Infection Risks From Washbasin U-bend Traps Using a Novel Automated Disinfection System with Electrochemically Activated Solutions
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Dental Sciences. Discipline of Dental Science, 2017)Background: Washbasin and sink U-bends are ubiquitous in virtually all buildings including hospitals and smaller healthcare premises. They have been used for over a century and their principal purpose is to prevent foul ... -
Molecular characterisation of Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis populations from healthy and diseased oral implant and natural tooth sites in a cohort of patients with periimplantitis
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2013)The majority of STs (19/22, 86.36%) belonged to the predominant clonal complex CC1. In comparison to the global S. epidermidis MLST database, the STs identified in this study exhibited no enrichment of or particular ... -
MOLECULAR EPIDEMIOLOGY. PHYLOGENY AND EVOLUTION OF Candida albicans
(2014)A small number of Candida species form part of the normal microbial flora of mucosal surfaces in humans and may give rise to opportunistic infections when host defences are impaired. Candida albicans is by far the most ... -
