Benzoylarginine-2-Naphthylamide
Abstract
SRP + HBO2 resulted in greater probing reduction and attachment gain than SRP alone three months after treatment (p<0.001). The BANA test was negative after one week only for sites in the SRP + HBO2 group (p<0.05). However, SRP + HBO2 failed to show a significant difference from SRP group after 3 mo...

Abstract
Kendall's tau-b and Chi-square test were used to assess the correlation between the BANA test results and CPITN scores. Results indicated sensitivity (92.86%), specificity (80%) and agreement (91.25%); indicating the validity of CPITN in assessing anaerobic infection. CONCLUSION: There was a signifi...

Abstract
The purpose of the present investigation was to evaluate the effects of sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS), present in a commercial dentifrice, on the formation of volatile sulphur compounds (VSC) and tongue coating in a panel of periodontally healthy subjects.

Abstract
In approximately 80-90% of all cases, halitosis is caused by oral conditions, defined as oral malodour. Oral malodour results from tongue coating, periodontal disease, peri-implant disease, deep carious lesions, exposed necrotic tooth pulps, pericoronitis, mucosal ulcerations, healing (mucosal) woun...

Abstract
Initially, intermediate sites (4-6 mm) in the test group showed less plaque accumulation, gingival bleeding, bleeding on probing and a greater reduction in attachment level and probing depth (PD) at 63 days after treatment. The initially deep sites (>6 mm) in the CHX group also showed a better reduc...

Abstract
Periodontal disease can be diagnosed chairside by the presence of white blood cells in plaque samples, a finding that reflects the inflammatory nature of the disease process. This approach would reduce the misclassification of subjects as having periodontal disease (130 patients in the present study...

Abstract
Gingivitis is the first manifestation of periodontal disease, and is characterized by painless and slow evolution. Early diagnosis and intervention must be done to avoid the possibility of precocious periodontitis during the childhood or teenage years. The enzymatic BANA test (N-benzoyl-DL-arginine-...

Abstract
We used a chairside assay for the N-benzoyl-DL-arginine-2-naphthylamide (BANA)-sensitive enzyme found in Porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema denticola, and Tannerella forsythensis, to determine the prevalence of these BANA-positive species in young children and their caregivers. We predicted that if...

Abstract
The scores of PI, GI, BI and sample that tested positive for halitosis linked toxins and with the halitosis grading were not significant. The presence of tongue coating and the halitosis grading and toxin levels were significant. BANA has shown to be non contributory due to technical problems. Anaer...

We identified the gene, designated opdB, in an apparently noncoding region of the T. denticola genome unannotated contigs (11/2000; http://www.tigr.org). The opdB gene begins with a TTG start codon and encodes a 685-residue peptide with high homology to the oligopeptidase B family in prokaryotes and...

Abstract
We have found that the cell lysate from cultured human normal keratinocytes from foreskin (HFKs) hydrolyzed alpha-N-benzoyl-DL-arginine beta-naphthylamide (BANA), and the BANA hydrolysis occurred most under conditions of 37 degrees C and pH 6.0.
