Subjects and methods: In this randomized clinical trial, forty-eight completely edentulous patients were randomly classified into two groups of twenty-four patients each. Group (I) had received a complete denture made from a polyamide thermoplastic material complete denture. Group (II) had received complete denture made from polymethyl methacrylate. Patient satisfaction was evaluated using a questionnaire and candidal count was evaluated by collection of swabs cultured on Sabouraud{u2019}s agar gel plates. Results: There was no significant difference in mean Satisfaction between Group I and Group II at insertion or 1 month periods (p >0.05), However, there was a significant difference in mean Satisfaction between Group I and Group II in 3 months and 6 months periods (p < 0.05). The previously mentioned results revealed that there was no significant difference in mean CFU between Group I and Group II at insertion or 1 month or 3 months period (p >0.05) except in 6 months period where there was a significant difference in mean CFU between Group I and Group II (p < 0.05) UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
