The BceABRS four-component system regulates the bacitracin-induced cell envelope stress response in Streptococcus mutans
Streptococcus mutans is known to be resistant to bacitracin, a cyclic polypeptide antibiotic produced by certain species of the genus Bacillus. This property is often exploited in the isolation of S. mutans strains from ... -
BMP-2 functions independently of SHH signaling and triggers cell condensation and apoptosis in regenerating axolotl limbs
Background: Axolotls have the unique ability, among vertebrates, to perfectly regenerate complex body parts, such as limbs, after amputation. In addition, axolotls pattern developing and regenerating autopods from the ... -
Comparison of quartz-tungsten-halogen, light-emitting diode, and plasma arc curing lights
PURPOSE: This study determined which light source was best at photopolymerizing five representative brands of resin composite. The hypothesis was that there would be no difference in the hardness of the composites when ... -

Detachment of Streptococcus mutans biofilm cells by an endogenous enzymatic activity
Previous studies have shown that Streptococcus mutans NG8 possesses an endogenous surface protein-releasing enzyme (SPRE) activity that liberates its own surface proteins (S. P. Lee, Infect. Immun. 60:4032-4039, 1992). The ... -
The effect of distance from light source on light intensity from curing lights
PURPOSE: To investigate how light intensity changes as the distance increases from the tip of the light guide. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ten different curing light/light guide combinations were used. Light intensity was ... -
Effect of magnification loupes on dental hygiene student posture
The chair-side work posture of dental hygienists has long been a concern because of health-related problems potentially caused or exacerbated by poor posture. The purpose of this study was to investigate if using magnification ... -

Exploring Fifty Years of Scholarship Across the Curriculum (SAC) and Table Clinics at the Dalhousie Faculty of Dentistry
For some, doing research can be ominous and uncertain. From time to time, one may hear in the halls of the dental building, in tones of frustration, “Why do we need to do research to become a good clinician!?” I had the ... -
The Influence of Industry on Dental Education
Academic dental institutions face the growing challenge of securing the resources needed to develop a curriculum that incorporates current innovation and technology to ensure that students' learning experiences are relevant ... -
Integrating photo-stimulable phosphor plates into dental and dental hygiene radiography curricula
It is not known whether the integration of photo-stimulable phosphor (PSP) plates into dental and dental hygiene curricula creates unique learning challenges for students. The purpose of this two-year study was to determine ... -
