Table 1 Diagnostic tests for the presence of pathogens causing periodontitis (PET) and diagnostic tests for the presence of Candida (CAT) (data from the manufacturer of the tests).

PETCAT
In vitro diagnostic test for the determination of pathogens associated with the formation and development of periodontitis/periimplantitisAn in vitro diagnostic test for the determination of pathogens that cause oral fungal infection
Is a quantitative and qualitative test for the presence of periopathogens in gingival pocketsIs a quantitative and qualitative test for the presence of pathogens in gingival pockets
Uses the Real-Time PCR method, which ensures high sensitivity and specificityUses the Real-Time PCR method, which ensures high sensitivity and specificity
In the project, the test used was the “standard” version, where pathogens (, and were identified) and the total number of bacteria was determinedIn the project, the test used was the “standard” version, where pathogens , , , , are identified and the total number of pathogens is determined
The determination of pathogens in the gingival pockets was possible by taking a proper sample of the bacterial plaqueDetermination of pathogens was possible by taking the correct sample by rubbing the places presumably infected with yeast using points
Using tweezers, a sterile paper point was placed in the gingival pocket. It was introduced to its bottom and left for about 10–20 seconds, then the point was placed in a transport tube. Transport tubes in the diagnostic kit were sent to the analytical laboratory of MIP Pharma GmbH, the test result along with the individual treatment recommendation were received by mail and e-mailThe samples for testing were taken with points from places presumably infected with yeast, and the points was placed in a transport tube. The transport tubes in the diagnostic kit were sent to the analytical laboratory of MIP Pharma GmbH, the test result together with the individual treatment recommendation were received by mail and e-mail
