Remote monitoring of sleep bruxism using a sensor containting occlusal device
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Dental Sciences. Discipline of Dental Science, 2018)Background: Sleep Bruxism is a complex oral condition that has been associated with a multitude of clinical problems. It is accepted that inpatient polysomnographic with audio-visual recording is the 'gold standard' ... -
Reported difficulty tooth and denture cleaning among an ageing population with intellectual disabilities in Ireland
(2014)Aims and objectives: This paper aims to describe reported difficulty and frequency in carrying out oral hygiene practices among an ageing population with intellectual disabilities in Ireland; Methods: This cross-sectional ... -
Role of Fusobacterium nucleatum-oral keratinocyte interactions in the progression of oral dysplasia and Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Dental Sciences. Discipline of Dental Science, 2023)Dysplastic changes of the oral epithelium have a potential for malignant transformation. Several studies have identified increased abundance of Fusobacterium spp. on malignant and premalignant oral lesions. The potential ... -
The role of the Mediator complex in fungal pathogenesis and response to antifungal agents.
(2023)Mediator is a complex of polypeptides that plays a central role in the recruitment of RNA polymerase II to promoters and subsequent transcriptional activation in eukaryotic organisms. Studies have now shown that Mediator ... -
A Ser29Leu SUBSTITUTION IN THE CYTOSINE DEAMINASE Fca1p IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CLADE-SPECIFIC 5-FLUCYTOSINE RESISTANCE IN Candida dubliniensis
(2009)The population structure of the opportunistic yeast pathogen Candida dubliniensis is composed of three main multilocus sequence typing clades (clades C1 to C3), and clade C3 predominantly consists of isolates from the ... -
Stainless steel crown vs bulk fill composites for the restoration of primary molars post-pulpectomy: 1-year survival and acceptance results of a randomized clinical trial
(2022)Background: A key factor for the success and longevity of the endodontic treatment is sealing of the cavity after restorative treatment. Aim: The aim of this randomised clinical trial was to evaluate the 1-year survival ... -
STAPHYLOCOCCAL CASSETTE CHROSOMOME MEC: RECENT ADVANCES AND NEW INSIGHTS
(2013)Staphylococcal cassette chromosome (SCC) elements are complex mobile genetic elements that often carry antimicrobial resistance and in some cases virulence-associated genes. In addition to SCCmec, which harbours the ... -
A Study to Determine the Frequency of Headache Disorders in Patients Attending an Orofacial Pain Clinic.
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Dental Sciences. Discipline of Dental Science, 2023)Introduction: The multifactorial origin of headache and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) coupled with the fact that they exhibit similar and overlapping signs and symptoms make differential diagnosis and treatment planning ... -
Survival rate of primary molar restorations is not influenced by hand mixed or encapsulated GIC: 24 months RCT
(2021)Background: Glass ionomer cements (GIC) have been considered the top option to restore primary teeth by dentists. The most common supply forms are hand mixed and encapsulated GIC. There is a lack of information about the ... -
A susceptibility locus for lung cancer maps to nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit genes on 15q25.
(2008)Abstract: Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death worldwide, with over one million cases annually(1). To identify genetic factors that modify disease risk, we conducted a genome- wide association study by ... -
Telomeric ORFs (TLOs) in Candida spp. encode Mediator subunits that regulate distinct virulence traits
(2014)The TLO genes are a family of telomere-associated ORFs in the fungal pathogens Candida albicans and C. dubliniensis that encode a subunit of the Mediator complex with homology to Med2. The more virulent pathogen C. albicans ... -
Telomeric ORFS in Candida albicans : Does Mediator Tail Wag the Yeast?
(2015)Recent studies of fungal genomes have shown that subtelomeric regions of chromosomes are areas of rapid evolution that facilitate adaptation to novel niches [1]. Several years ago, analysis of the genome of the human ... -
The accuracy of bone mapping and guided flapless implant placement using a novel surgical guide : a human cadaver study
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2009)Dental Implants are a predictable way of replacing missing teeth. However in some instances the position of the implant is a hindrance to providing a functional and aesthetic restoration. The problems associated with ... -
The ceremonial (dis)order of the clinic : mapping engagement in dental interactions
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2015)The principal aim of this research was to map the emergence of interactional engagement through discourse in dental settings, where engagement can be understood as the “degree of involvement” (Duchan, 2009: 11) of the ... -
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, ...
