Article
Full-text available
Objectives The use of periodontal biomarkers for identification and monitoring of unique patient populations could foster better stratification of at-risk groups, increase access to treatment for those most in need, facilitate preventive measures and improve personalised care plans. The aim of this study was to examine the diagnostic and prognostic...
Article
Objective: Clinical manifestations of Gram-negative bacteria-mediated diseases can be influenced by how the host senses their major microbe-associated molecular pattern, the cell wall lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Keystone periodontal pathogens can produce a heterogeneous population of LPS molecules, with strikingly different host-microbiome interactio...
Article

Objectives Regulation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) chemical composition, particularly its lipid A domain, is an important, naturally occurring mechanism that drives bacteria-host immune system interactions into either a symbiotic or pathogenic relationship. Members of the subgingival oral microbiota can critically modulate host immuno-inflammatory r...
Article
Introduction: The role of small-group facilitators is of pivotal importance for the success of curricula based on active learning. Disorganised tutorial processes and superficial study of the problem have been identified as main hindering factors for students' learning. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of consistency of facilita...
Article
Full-text available
Introduction: In certain communities patients may struggle to find access to adequate dental treatment. One proposed strategy to help meet population need is to train more dental hygiene-therapists. However, established attitudes and hierarchies, along with a lack of clear understanding of different roles within some general practice environments...
Article
Purpose The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the impact of integrating the teaching of Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) and Bachelor of Dental Therapy and Hygiene (BScDTH) students in enquiry‐based learning (EBL) sessions, using performance on multiple related integrated dental science (IDS) multiple‐choice question assessments. Method...
Conference Paper
Objective: The causative basis for chronic periodontitis relates to a subverted host innate immune response to a unique bacterial consortium and lipopolysaccharides (LPS) produced by certain pathogenic members of the subgingival plaque community. The specific capacity of a Gram-negative bacterium to alert or evade the host innate immune system thro...
