A dentifrice containing salivary enzymes and xylitol exhibits superior antimicrobial activity in vitro against adherent Streptococcus mutans compared to a chlorhexidine dentifrice.
(2023)Human saliva contains natural antimicrobial enzymes. In this in-vitro study, we evaluate the antimicrobial activity of a dentifrice containing a salivary enzyme complex (SEC) with xylitol versus a standard 0.12% chlorhexidine ... -
DETECTION OF STAPHYLOCOCCAL CASSETTE CHROMOSOME mec Type XI ENCODING HIGHLY DIVERGENT mecA, mecI, mecR1, blaZ and ccr GENES IN HUMAN CLINICAL CLONAL COMPLEX 130 METHICILLIN-RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS
(2011)Methicillin resistance in staphylococci is mediated by penicillin binding protein 2a (PBP2a) encoded by mecA on mobile staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) elements. In this study two clonal complex (CC) 130 ... -
Does fluoride exposure impact on the human microbiome?
(2023)Fluoride is added to drinking water in some countries to prevent tooth decay (caries). There is no conclusive evidence that community water fluoridation (CWF) at WHO recommended concentrations for caries prevention has any ... -
Emergence of Sequence Type 779 Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Harboring a Novel Pseudo Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec (SCCmec)-SCC-SCCCRISPR Composite Element in Irish Hospitals.
(2013)Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been a major cause of nosocomial infection in Irish hospitals for 4 decades, and replacement of predominant MRSA clones has occurred several times. An MRSA isolate ... -
AN EMERGING PANTON-VALENTINE (PVL)-POSITIVE CC5-METICILLIN-RESISTANT Staphylococcus aureus-IVc CLONE RECEOVERED FROM HOSPITAL AND COMMUNITY SETTINGS OVER A 17-YEAR PERIOD FROM 12 COUNTRIES INVESTIGATED BY WHOLE-GENOME SEQUENCING
(2023)Background A novel Panton–Valentine leukocidin (PVL)-positive meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clonal complex (CC)5-MRSA-IVc (‘Sri Lankan’ clone) was recently described from Sri Lanka. Similar isolates ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Glass carbomer and compomer for ART restorations: 3-year results of a randomized clinical trial
(2018)Objective: To evaluate the survival of atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) restorations using high viscosity glass ionomer cement (GIC), compomer (COM), and glass carbomer (CAR) for occlusal and occlusoproximal cavitated ... -
Glass Ionomer Sealants Can Prevent Dental Caries but Cannot Prevent Posteruptive Breakdown on Molars Affected by Molar Incisor Hypomineralization: One-Year Results of a Randomized Clinical Trial
(2021)To evaluate the preventive effect of glass ionomer cement (GIC) against dental caries and posteruptive breakdown (PEB) on molars affected by molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH). In this randomized clinical trial, 77 ... -
Global Transcriptome Sequencing Identifies Chlamydospore Specific Markers in Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis.
(2013)Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis are pathogenic fungi that are highly related but differ in virulence and in some phenotypic traits. During in vitro growth on certain nutrient-poor media, C. albicans and C. ... -
The Hall Technique 10 years on: Questions and answers.
(2017)It is ten years since the first paper on the Hall Technique was published in the British Dental Journal and almost 20 years since the technique first came to notice. Dr Norna Hall a (now retired) general dental practitioner ... -
Histone Acetylation as a Regenerative Target in the Dentine-Pulp Complex
(2020)If dental caries (or tooth decay) progresses without intervention, the infection will advance through the dentine leading to severe pulpal inflammation (irreversible pulpitis) and pulp death. The current management of ...
