Effectiveness of the human oral microbe identification microarray in identifying periodontal pathogens: A Systematic review (2022)
Journal Article
Udoh, S., Adukwu, E., Varadi, A., & Saad, S. (2022). Effectiveness of the human oral microbe identification microarray in identifying periodontal pathogens: A Systematic review. Applied Microbiology, 2(3), 614-625. https://doi.org/10.3390/applmicrobiol2030047

The aim of this review was to investigate the effectiveness of the Human Oral Microbe Identification Microarray (HOMIM) in identifying and quantifying bacterial species of the oral microbiome in periodontal disease. The search for articles was conduc... Read More about Effectiveness of the human oral microbe identification microarray in identifying periodontal pathogens: A Systematic review.

Inactivation of Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella on stainless steel by a piezoelectric cold atmospheric plasma generator (2021)
Journal Article
Gonzalez-Gonzalez, C. R., Hindle, B. J., Saad, S., & Stratakos, A. C. (2021). Inactivation of Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella on stainless steel by a piezoelectric cold atmospheric plasma generator. Applied Sciences, 11(8), Article 3567. https://doi.org/10.3390/app11083567

Cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAP) is a novel non‐thermal technology that is gain-ing increasing importance as a decontamination method. Stainless steel is a widespread food contact surface used in food‐processing environments. In this study, for...

Short- and long-term effects of a dentifrice containing dual zinc plus arginine on intra-oral halitosis: Improvements in breath quality (2018)
Journal Article
Saad, S., Fitzgerald, M., Hewett, K., Greenman, J., Vandeven, M., Trivedi, H., & Masters, J. (2018). Short- and long-term effects of a dentifrice containing dual zinc plus arginine on intra-oral halitosis: Improvements in breath quality. Journal of Clinical Dentistry, 29(3 (Special Issue A)), 46-54

Objectives: These studies aimed to assess the short-term (12-hour, single use) and long-term (four weeks, continuous use) efficacy of a new Dual Zinc plus Arginine dentifrice against intra-oral halitosis versus a negative control. Methods: Two cl... Read More about Short- and long-term effects of a dentifrice containing dual zinc plus arginine on intra-oral halitosis: Improvements in breath quality.

Daily reduction of oral malodor with the use of a sonic tongue brush combined with an antibacterial tongue spray in a randomized cross-over clinical investigation (2016)
Journal Article
Saad, S., Gomez-Pereira, P., Hewett, K., Horstman, P., Patel, J., & Greenman, J. (2016). Daily reduction of oral malodor with the use of a sonic tongue brush combined with an antibacterial tongue spray in a randomized cross-over clinical investigation. Journal of Breath Research, 10(1), 13-16. https://doi.org/10.1088/1752-7155/10/1/016013

Abstract The objective of this clinical investigation was to test the effectiveness on breath odor of a newly designed sonic tongue brush (TongueCare+, TC). It consists of a soft silicone brush optimally designed based on the tongue's anatomy t...

Use of an in vitro flat-bed biofilm model to measure biologically active anti-odour compounds (2013)
Journal Article
Greenman, J., Saad, S., Hewett, K., & Greenman, J. (2013). Use of an in vitro flat-bed biofilm model to measure biologically active anti-odour compounds. Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 97(17), 7865-7875. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00253-013-5084-6

The objective of this study was to demonstrate the utility of a modified flat-bed perfusion biofilm matrix system for testing toothpaste formulations directly, without dilution, as a layer in direct contact with the biofilm matrix surface. Final biof... Read More about Use of an in vitro flat-bed biofilm model to measure biologically active anti-odour compounds.
