Mechanical testing protocols as performance indicators for glass-ionomers
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2015)The aim of the current investigation was to identify a reproducible and discriminatory mechanical testing methodology to act as a performance indicator for glass-ionomers (GIs). The investigation is presented as a series ... -
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) ... -

(Trinity College Dublin. School of Dental Sciences. Discipline of Dental Science, 2019)Background: Von Willebrand Disease (vWD) is one of the most common Congenital Bleeding Disorders (CBT). Mucosal bleeding is a feature of vWD including menorrhagia, nosebleeds and bleeding from the gums. It has been documented ... -
Investigation of the microbiological profile of oral leukoplakia
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Dental Sciences. Discipline of Dental Science, 2019)Oral leukoplakia (OLK) presents as a white patch on the oral mucosa and is recognised as a potentially malignant lesion. Although colonisation of these patches with yeast such as Candida albicans has been reported, little ... -
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 ... -
Investigation into the molecular mechanisms of itraconazole resistance in Candida dubliniensis
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2003)Candida dubliniensis is a recently identified yeast species primarily associated with oral carriage and infection in HIV-infected individuals. Previous studies have shown that only a small number of clinical isolates are ... -
