ENRICHMENT OF MULTILOCUS SEQUENCE TYPING CLADE 1 WITH ORAL CANDIDA ALBICANS ISOLATES IN PATIENTS WITH UNTREATED PERIODONTITIS
(2012)This study investigated the prevalence and cell density of Candida species in periodontal pockets, healthy subgingival sites and in oral rinses of patients with untreated periodontitis. Twenty-one periodontitis patients ... -
Epidemiological and Phylogenetic Investigation of Panton-Valentine Leukocidin-Positive Community-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Ireland and Internationally using Whole-Genome Sequencing
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Dental Sciences. Discipline of Dental Science, 2023)Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a successful modern pathogen associated with many clinical manifestations including asymptomatic colonisation, superficial skin infections and severe invasive diseases. ... -
EVA performance in zygomatic bone protection during sports practice: pilot numerical study
(European Society of Biomechanics, 2016)In sport competitions, facial bone fractures, particularly in the zygomatic bone,are becoming increasingly common. Thus, further studies on the material possibilities for an efficient protection ... -
An evaluation of the elastic recovery of nickel titanium archwires following ligation in palatally-displaced lateral incisors
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Dental Sciences. Discipline of Dental Science, 2023)Introduction The levelling and aligning phase of orthodontic treatment involves the use of low-modulus nickel titanium archwires with small cross-sectional diameters. Aims and objectives The aim of this study was to compare ... -
EXTENSIVE GENETIC DIVERSITY IDENTIFIED AMONG SPORADIC METHICILLIN-RESISTANT Staphylococcus aureus ISOLATES RECOVERED IN IRISH HOSPITALS BETWEEN 2000-2012
(2014)Clonal replacement of predominant nosocomial methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains has occurred several times in Ireland during the last four decades. However, little is known about sporadically-occurring ... -
Finite elements analysis for extraoral maxillofacial external hexagon implants in the auricular region
(European Society of Biomechanics, 2016)Facial prosthetics requires a means of retention. Over the last three decades, osseo integrated implants have been used to improve the hold and retention of facial prosthesis. This finite elements analysis (FEA) ... -
FIRST DESCRIPTION OF ARGININE CATABOLIC MOVILE ELEMENT (ACME) TYPE VI HARBORING THE kdp OPERON ONLY IN Staphylococcus epidermidis USING SHORT AND LONG READ WHOLE GENOME SEQUENCING: FURTHER EVIDENCE OF ACME DIVERSITY
(2019)The arginine catabolic mobile element (ACME) was first described in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and is considered to enhance transmission, persistence and survival. Subsequently ACMEs were shown to be more ... -
A follow-up study investigating changes in oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment for Class II division 1 malocclusion: A longitudinal study
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Dental Sciences. Discipline of Dental Science, 2019)The aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of orthodontic treatment on OHRQoL in children with Class II division 1 malocclusion. Secondary objectives included assessment of the level of agreement in rating the children's ... -
The function of the TLO gene family of Candida albicans
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Dental Sciences. Discipline of Dental Science, 2022)Candida albicans is the most common cause of Candida infection worldwide. It is more pathogenic than all the other members of the genus, and it is thought that expansion of several key gene families accounts for this ... -
General dentists' perceptions and clinical management of hypomineralised second primary molars (HSPM) in Ireland
(2023)Purpose: This questionnaire aimed to explore how general dentists in the Republic of Ireland perceive and manage hypomineralised second primary molars (HSPM). Methods: Following ethical approval, a validated structured ... -
A genome-wide association study of upper aerodigestive tract cancers conducted within the INHANCE consortium.
(2011)Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been successful in identifying common genetic variation involved in susceptibility to etiologically complex disease. We conducted a GWAS to identify common genetic variation ... -
Genome-wide gene expression profiling and a forward genetic screen show that differential expression of the sodium ion transporter Ena21 contributes to the differential tolerance of Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis to osmotic stress
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2009)Candida albicans is more pathogenic than Candida dubliniensis. However, this disparity in virulence is surprising given the high level of sequence conservation and the wide range of phenotypic traits shared by these two ... -
GENOTYPING Candida albicans FROM CANDIDA LEUKOPLAKIA AND NON-CANDIDA LEUKOPLAKIA SHOWS NO ENRICHMENT OF MULTILOCUS SEQUENCE TYPING CLADES BUT ENRICHMENT OF ABC GENOTYPE C IN CANDIDA LEUKOPLAKIA
(2013)Oral leukoplakias are histopathologically-diagnosed as Candida leukoplakia or non-Candida leukoplakia by the presence or absence of hyphae in the superficial epithelium. Candida leukoplakia lesions have significantly ... -
Giomer composite compared to glass ionomer in occlusoproximal ART restorations of primary molars: 24-month RCT
(2022)Background Occlusoproximal restorations of primary molars usually fail, so it is necessary to investigate new materials that may overcome this challenge. Thus, this trial aimed to evaluate the longevity of occlusoproximal ...
