  • Title: Correlation between the CPITN score and anaerobic periodontal infections assessed by BANA assay.
    Author: Grisi MF, Salvador SL, Martins W, Catandi N, Silva-Neto CR.
    Journal: Braz Dent J; 1999; 10(2):93-7. PubMed ID: 10863395.
    Abstract:
    In the present investigation the ability of subgingival plaque to hydrolyze BANA (Perioscan) was correlated with CPITN scores. Among 281 sites investigated, 136 had a CPITN equal to 2 with a highly significant positive BANA value (107 sites). A CPITN equal to 3 was also significantly BANA positive (90 sites). These findings clearly demonstrate the relationship between CPITN and anaerobic microorganisms (BANA positive).
