| Microorganism | n | % |
|---|---|---|
| Streptococcus species | 15 | 50 |
| CONS | 2 | 6.7 |
| Staphylococcus aureus | 17 | 56.7 |
| Candida albicans | 19 | 63.3 |

Table 1 and Figure 3 show the percentage distribution of microbial species isolated from number of individuals on the first day of denture insertion. Microorganisms such as Streptococcus species, Coagulase-negative staphylococcus, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans and Klebsiella pneumoniae were found in certain percentage. Among the isolated microorganism, Candida albicans showed the highest percentage which was found to be 63.3% with n=19. Staphylococcus aureus was found to be 56.7% with n=17. Streptococcus species was found to be 50% with n=15. The presence of Diphtheroid, E. coli, Micrococcus species, Lactobacillus species, Enterococcus and pseudomonas was not found in this group
