A clinical and microbiological investigation of peri-implant infections
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2014)Osseointegrated oral implants are becoming increasingly more common in restorative dentistry as permanent replacements for lost or missing teeth. Peri-implant infections are a significant area of treatment need but the ... -
A clinical study to evaluate changes in maximum intercuspation position following placement of a stainless steel crown in children
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2010)An increase in occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) following restorative treatment in adults may result in discomfort. In contrast, an increase in OVD in children following placement of a stainless steel crown (SSC) or an ... -
A clinical study to evaluate the success of two commercially available aesthetic stainless steel crowns on primary molars
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2009)The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic success of two commercially available aesthetic stainless steel crowns on carious primary molars. The objectives were to compare the crown types to each ... -
A comparison of mandibular incisor proclination when using clear aligners and fixed labial orthodontic brackets
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2015)The objective of this ‘2-arm parallel' clinical trial was to compare the mandibular incisor proclination produced by fixed labial appliances and 3rd generation clear aligners. -
A comparison of various methods of assessing salivary flow in normal and xerostomic subjects
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2006)Saliva is produced by the three major paired salivary glands and minor salivary glands. Alterations in the quantity and quality of saliva have adverse effects on the oral cavity and influence patient quality of Hfe. How ... -
A population structure analysis of Candida dubliniensis using multilocus sequence typing and an investigation of the molecular mechanism(s) of clade-specific resistance to 5-fluorocytosine
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2009)Candida dubliniensis shares many phenotypic and genetic characteristics with its closest relative, Candida albicans, which most likely delayed the identification and subsequent classification of C. dubliniensis as a distinct ... -
A radomised control trial of the effectiveness of an intermediate bonding agent on the retention of fissure sealants
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2012)Resin pit and fissure sealants are an effective preventative method of reducing caries in permanent molar teeth. The preventative effect is reduced because the retention of fissure sealant falls by 10-21% annually. The ... -
A split mouth, double blind, placebo controlled trial to assess the impact of a lidocaine / prilocaine 2.5%
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2010)The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of an intra-pocket anaesthetic gel (Oraqix®, Dentsply Pharmaceutical, York, Pennsylvania, USA) in the reduction of pain on periodontal probing in a group of untreated ... -
AIR AND SURFACE CONTAMINATION PATTERNS OF METHICILLIN-RESISTANT Staphylococcus aureus ON EIGHT ACUTE HOSPITAL WARDS
(2014)BACKGROUND. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) can be recovered from hospital air and from environmental surfaces. This poses a potential risk of transmission to patients. OBJECTIVE. To investigate ... -
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 ... -
