Table 2.
Distribution of microorganisms isolated from individuals at 1-month usage of removable dental prosthesis
| Microorganisms | n | % |
|---|---|---|
| Streptococcus species | 21 | 70 |
| Coagulase-negative staphylococcus (CONS) | 7 | 23.3 |
| Staphylococcus aureus | 23 | 76.7 |
| Candida albicans | 21 | 70 |
| Klebsiella pneumoniae | 5 | 16.7 |
| Diptheroid | 7 | 23.3 |
| E. coli | 4 | 13.3 |
| Micrococcus species | 1 | 3.3 |
| Lactobacillus species | 3 | 10 |
| Enterococcus species | 7 | 23.3 |
| Pseudomonas species | 1 | 3.3 |
Table 2 and Figure 4 show the percentage division of microbial variety secluded from number of persons at first month practice of removable dental prosthesis. It showed an increase in all the microorganisms among which the highest percentage of Staphylococcus aureus was found which was 76.7% with n=23. Candida albicans was found to be 70% with n=21. A few microorganisms which were not found at the time of denture insertion such as Diphtheroid, E. coli, Micrococcus species, Lactobacillus species, Enterococcus and Pseudomonas were also evident. The least percentage distribution was found to be 3.3% of Micrococcus species and Pseudomonas with n=1
