A clinical study to evaluate changes in maximum intercuspation position following placement of a stainless steel crown in children
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2010)An increase in occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) following restorative treatment in adults may result in discomfort. In contrast, an increase in OVD in children following placement of a stainless steel crown (SSC) or an ... -
Zygomatic implants : a finite element analysis study
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2012)Alveolar bone resorption commonly occurs following the loss of teeth in the posterior maxilla. The placement of conventional dental implants is often difficult in this area when resorption has occurred. Zygomatic implants ... -

(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2012)Cardiovascular disease is one of the main causes of morbidity in the western world. As well as common risk factors for developing this disease, several other potential contributors have been suggested. One of these is ... -
Diagnosis of temporomandibular disorders and assessment of disclusion time in a chronic daily headache population
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2010)Chronic Daily Headache (CDH) is characterised by the presence of headache for more than 15 days/month for a period longer than 3 months. Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) are a group of conditions involving the masticatory ... -
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, ... -
One step apexification using two types of mineral trioxide aggregate
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2008)This research investigated the clinical and radiographic success of one step apexification of non-vital immature permanent incisors in children using 2 types of white MTA; white MTA Angelus and white MTA ProRoot®. The ... -
Effect of surface contamination on re-osseointegration of dental implants surrounded by circumferential bone defects
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2009)This study was designed to evaluate the effect of surface contamination on re-osseointegration of dental implants surrounded by circumferential bone defect and to compare osseointegration around Osseotite® implants (Biomet ... -
A comparison of various methods of assessing salivary flow in normal and xerostomic subjects
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2006)Saliva is produced by the three major paired salivary glands and minor salivary glands. Alterations in the quantity and quality of saliva have adverse effects on the oral cavity and influence patient quality of Hfe. How ... -
An evaluation of the Bicon implant system using short implants : patient experience and implant success in the short term
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2009)The aim of this study was to evaluate the success of short Bicon implants, patient experience in relation to implant placement and patient satisfaction with treatment in the short term. 45 hydroxyapatite coated short Bicon ... -
Comparative analysis of stress responses in C. albicans and C. dubliniensis
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2006)Candida dubliniensis is apathogenic yeast that was first identified as a novel species in 1995. It is phylogenetically very closely related to C. albicans. However, despite the close relationship between the two species, ... -
Comparative growth analysis of Candida dubliniensis and Candida albicans in vitro and in selected infection models
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2006)Candida dubliniensis is the species most closely related to C. albicans and is primarily associated with colonisation and oral candidiasis in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HlV)-infected individuals and AIDS patients. Despite ... -
Comparative genetic analysis of nosocomial methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus populations in Ireland 1971-2004
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2005)Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is the most prevalent pathogen responsible for nosocomial infections worldwide and Ireland has one of the highest rates of nosocomial MRSA infections in Europe. In the ... -

(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2010)The aim of the present study was to examine the dental health status of pre-school children with disabilities in the Republic of Ireland. The objectives of this study were to record the dental health status of a sample ... -
Evaluation of educational approaches to undergraduate teaching : their effect on life-long learning attitudes and clinical competence
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2010)National policies on third level education within Europe are being driven by the agenda of the Bologna process and its objective to create a European Higher Education Area (EHEA) by 2010. There is a shift from the traditional ... -
Development of long-term practical solutions to the universal problem of biofilm contamination of dental unit waterlines
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2009)Microbial contamination of dental chair unit (DCU) output water by biofilm growth in dental unit waterlines (DUWLs) is a universal problem and a potentially significant source of cross-infection. At the outset of this ... -
Comprehensive molecular characterisation of endemic and sporadic methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus recovered in Irish hospitals
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2011)Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a prevalent pathogen responsible for hospital- and community-acquired infections worldwide. Molecular typing of Irish MRSA isolates has revealed that different MRSA ... -
An investigation into the relative adhesion of Candida dubliniensis and Candida albicans to human cells and extracellular matrix proteins
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2009)Candida dubliniensis is a germ tube-positive, chlamydospore-producing yeast species originally recovered from the oral cavities of HIV-infected individuals and AIDS patients and first described in 1995. It is closely related ... -
A population structure analysis of Candida dubliniensis using multilocus sequence typing and an investigation of the molecular mechanism(s) of clade-specific resistance to 5-fluorocytosine
