 Microbiological analysis and BANA in NIDDM
BANA showed a significant correlation with the number and ratio of spirochetes present in subgingival plaque samples from several sites (Loesche, 1986) and from individual sites (Loesche et al., 1987).
The objectives of this study are to: 1) evaluate the use of the BANA test as an indicator of the presence of periodontopathogenic bacteria in periodontal pockets of type II NIDDM patients after 6 monthly evaluations; 2) establish a correlation between the probing depths and the results of the BANA test.
The percent of negative reactions (BANA score 1) and moderately positive reactions (BANA score 2) tended to decrease when the probing depth increased, that is, they were inversely proportional to the increase in probing depth.
