Abstract:
Supportive periodontal therapy (SPT) is an integral part of periodontal care which focuses on the delivery of regular, continuous supportive and preventive therapy to affected individuals after completion of periodontal treatment. The project aims to investigate the relation of microbial and host factors to the degree of post-treatment periodontal destruction. It also tries to identify behavioural, host and/or microbiological characteristics that may be indicative of periodontal disease occurrence, recurrence or stability of treated patients. Results will help to identify indicators for appropriate SPT intervals.

Project Title:The evaluation of a minimal intervention model for oral health care in Chinese children
Investigator(s):Prof. Lo E.C.M., Dr. Holmgren C.J., Dr. Hu D.Y., Dr. Wan H.C.
Department:Faculty of Dentistry
Source(s) of Funding:Industry (company: ESPE Dental-Medizin GMBG & Co.)
Start Date:09/1996
Abstract:
To implement an oral health demonstration project in school children in Sichuan Province, China; to evaluate on a longitudinal basis ART restorations and sealants placed under field conditions; to evaluate the acceptability and affordability of the programme.


Project Title:A model for providing dental care services to primary school children in Southern China
Investigator(s):Prof. Lo E.C.M., Dr. Lin H.C.
Department:Faculty of Dentistry
Source(s) of Funding:Block Grant Earmarked for Research
Start Date:11/2001
Abstract:
To plan and implement a school dental care service in Southern China, based on the best evidence available and in a cost-effective way; to describe and analyze the set up and running cost of the service; to describe the impact of this service on the oral health of school children; to ascertain whether the service is acceptable and affordable in that community.


Project Title:Prevention and treatment of root surface dental caries in Hong Kong elderly
Investigator(s):Prof. Lo E.C.M., Dr. Corbet E.F., Dr. Dyson J.E.
Department:Faculty of Dentistry
Source(s) of Funding:Hong Kong Research Grants Council Competitive Earmarked Research Grants
Start Date:09/2002
Abstract:
The project aims at investigating the effectiveness of four methods in preventing new root surface caries and in arresting early caries. These are: 1) giving oral hygiene instruction (OHI) alone; 2) OHI and semi-annual application of chlorhexidine varnish; 3) OHI and semi-annual application of sodium fluoride varnish; 4) OHI and annual application of silver diamine fluoride solution. Apart from this, the project also attempts to compare the success of a new approach to restore decayed root surface against the conventional treatment.

Department:Faculty of Dentistry
Source(s) of Funding:Block Grant Earmarked for Research
Start Date:11/2002
Abstract:
To investigate the RAPD fingerprints of C. tropicalis isolates from varying geographical locales using tDNA and rDNA directed sequence-specific and arbitrary primers in order to asses their genomic heterogeneity; to investigate their intraspecies genetic relatedness as a recent report has hinted the possible existence of a genetic variant of this yeast which may be classified as a new species.


Project Title:Ultrastructural, histochemical and molecular features of the invasive phase of Candida species
Investigator(s):Prof. Samaranayake L.P., Prof. Cheung L.K., Prof. Gow N.A.R., Dr. Samaranayake Y.H.
Department:Faculty of Dentistry
Source(s) of Funding:Hong Kong Research Grants Council Competitive Earmarked Research Grants
Start Date:12/2002
Abstract:
The study attempts to:- 1) characterize the ultrastructural cellular features of the three hypha producing Candida species, C. albicans, C. tropicalis and C. dubliniensis, during invasion of the superficial epithelium; 2) determine qualitatively the proteolytic and lipolytic enzymes secreted at the apical tip of the invading fungal hyphae; 3) examine th etemporal regulation of the mRNA expression of seven members of the secreted aspartyl proteinases (SAP) gene family during tissue invasion by C. albicans; and 4) evaluate features mentioned above in well characterized mutants of C. albicans that have a high and low propensity to produce hyphal elements and SAP mutants that have defects in secretion of this protein degrading enzyme.


Project Title:Antifungal penetration in Candida biofilms
Investigator(s):Prof. Samaranayake L.P., Dr. Samaranayake Y.H.
Department:Faculty of Dentistry
Source(s) of Funding:Block Grant Earmarked for Research
Start Date:11/2003
Abstract:
To evaluate qualitatively the antifungal perfusion in Candida biofilms, using a modified, novel assay method with a total of five Candida species and three different antifungals; to apply scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) to visualize the architectural features of biofilms before and after exposure to antifungals to decipher the ultrastructural features associated with drug perfusion in Candida biofilms.

Abstract:
To determine the prevalence of oral manifestations of diabetic patients with regard to their dental, periodontal and oral mucosal health; to study the oral microflora using the "concentrated oral rinse" technique and to correlate with the patient's oral health. Candida albicans isolated will be sequentially genotyped. Results thus obtained may determine if changes in microbial ecology can assist in the prediction and prevention of oral opportunistic infections.
