What is the BANA Test?
The BANA Test is a highly sensitive, inexpensive and easy-to-use chairside test for periodontal risk. In just 5 minutes, the BANA Test can detect the bacteria associated with periodontal disease or halitosis simply by applying tongue swabbings or subgingival plaque samples to a small test strip. The unique enzyme associated with these bacteria reacts with the highly sensitive material on the test strip and shows a result. All OraFresh™ Clinics use the BANA Test as part of the OraFresh™ Oral Health Check™ assessment.
