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 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 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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Applied Research Methods in Maxillofacial Prosthetics

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
(2005)Candida dubliniensis is a recently described species of pathogenic yeast that shares many phenotypic features with Candida albicans. It is primarily associated with oral colonization and infection in HIV-infected individuals. ... -
Base-metal dental casting alloy biocompatibility assessment using a human-derived 3D oral mucosal model
(2012)Nickel-chromium (Ni-Cr) alloys used in fixed prosthodontics have been associated with type IV nickel-induced hypersensitivity. We hypothesized the full-thickness human-derived oral mucosa model employed for biocompatibility ... -
Behavioral analysis of Brazilian children participating in the “Baby’s Little Mouth Program” at Gurupi-Tocantins
(2017)The behavioral response of the child has been studied in some researches and is useful to predict how the child reacts to dental treatment, especially infants and young children, which is one of the greatest challenges of ... -
CANDIDA ALBICANS VERSUS CANDIDA DUBLINIENSIS: WHY IS C. ALBICANS MORE PATHOGENIC?
(2012)Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis are highly related pathogenic yeast species. However, C. albicans is far more prevalent in human infection and has been shown to be more pathogenic in a wide range of infection ... -
The Candida albicans-Specific Gene EED1 Encodes a Key Regulator of Hyphal Extension
(2011)The extension of germ tubes into elongated hyphae by Candida albicans is essential for damage of host cells. The C. albicans-specific gene EED1 plays a crucial role in this extension and maintenance of filamentous growth. ... -
Candida dubliniensis: An update
(1999)The increased incidence of fungal infections during the last decade has been well-documented. Given that one of the most important factors contributing to this phenomenon is the increased numbers of immunocompromised ... -
Characterisation of Staphylococcal and Candida Populations from Healthy and Diseased Oral and Subgingival Sites Reveals a High Prevalence and Diversity of the Arginine Catabolic Mobile Element ACME in Staphylococcus epidermidis
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Dental Sciences. Discipline of Dental Science, 2018)The oral cavity harbours a diverse microbiological population, that exists mainly as plaque biofilm, the accumulation of which is associated with oral diseases such as periodontal disease and peri-implantitis. Traditionally, ...
