(Thesis, Master of Dental Technology, 2013)Aims: The aim of this research was to compare the effects of ultrasonic scaling on the surface roughness of various dental materials, subsequent biofilm formation, and biofilm integrity challenged by brushing. Methods: ...
-
(Thesis, Doctor of Clinical Dentistry, 2012)Bacteria are the primary cause of pulp and periapical pathology. They gain entry into the tooth through exposed dentinal tubules. Although bacteria have been shown to invade these dentinal tubules, the cell interactions ... -
(Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012)Maxillofacial prosthetics includes restoration of maxillary defects resulting from resection of palate and naso-sinus neoplasms with obturator prostheses, which may be colonised by microorganisms and function as a reservoir ... -
(Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012)In Chapter 1, a literature review was undertaken to identify the etiological factors of failure of soldered bars in bar attachment systems for removable implant overdentures. Clinical studies with prosthodontic maintenance ... -
(Thesis, Doctor of Clinical Dentistry, 2012)Background: A pleasing smile can be considered part of an attractive appearance and having “whiter” teeth is perceived as an integral part of achieving this. Tooth whitening provides a treatment option that is a conservative, ...
-
(Thesis, Doctor of Clinical Dentistry, 2012)Aim - To assess the in vitro antimicrobial efficacy of antimicrobial peptides against common endodontic pathogens in the planktonic phase and biofilms. Method - Strains of Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus gordonii, ... -
(Thesis, Doctor of Clinical Dentistry, 2012)The aim of this research was to investigate the wear behaviour of human tooth enamel opposing two different indirect restorative materials; heat pressable lithium disilicate glass ceramic (IPS e.max Press) and type ІІІ ... -
(Thesis, Doctor of Clinical Dentistry, 2012)Aims: To investigate if there is a significant association between increased oral colonisation by yeast species, such as C. albicans, and a sensation of dry mouth, and if there is a difference in the saliva proteins detected ... -
(Thesis, Master of Health Sciences, 2012)Accurate interpretation of bony trauma is vitally important to forensic, anthropological and archaeological investigations. Perimortem bony trauma, defined as injury at the time of death, is of particular importance and ...
-
(Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012)Objectives: All-ceramic dental prosthetic materials are in high demand for their aesthetic and biocompatible properties. There is, however, a number of critical clinical problems both in terms of the aesthetic properties ... -
(Thesis, Doctor of Clinical Dentistry, 2012)Aims: To determine the influence of bur types and vision aids on the detection of cracks, root filling deficiencies and anomalies in resected root ends and on the quality of root-end cavities and fillings. To determine the ...

(Thesis, Master of Dental Technology, 2011)Objective: To evaluate the strain behaviour of the Kennedy Class I implant-assisted removable partial denture (IARPD) distal extension area under various loading conditions to better understand the strain pattern. Method: ... -
(Thesis, Doctor of Clinical Dentistry, 2011)Cohesive failure of veneering porcelain, or chipping, has been recognised as the main disadvantage of zirconia-based restorations. This is believed to be due to a propensity to develop large thermal gradients within the ... -
(Thesis, Doctor of Clinical Dentistry, 2011)Background: Root canal infection is a common disease in human teeth. Infection arises when oral bacteria invade and colonise the pulp space through carious lesions, cracks or fractures of coronal tooth structure or breakdown ...
-
(Thesis, Doctor of Clinical Dentistry, 2011)Background:The human mandible, like all long bones in the body, deforms when loaded. The force exerted by the muscles of mastication during various movements on the body of the mandible has been suggested to play a significant ...
-
(Thesis, Doctor of Clinical Dentistry, 2011)Aim: To evaluate, using micro-computed tomography, the root canal transportation and centering ability of BioRaCe and AlphaKite rotary instruments, and their ability to eradicate canal variations after preparation of the ... -
(Dissertation, Master of Health Sciences, 2006)Aims: This research investigated the prosthodontic activities and professional fees of two health practitioner groups; dentists and clinical dental technicians. A secondary aim was to determine whether dentists in New ...
