Research Abstract

For total glossectomy patients, there is no clinical or scientific basis for the design of palatal augmentation prostheses (PAPs). We suggest a more effective shape for the PAP to improve speech by comparing the vault shape of three different PAPs. The three different PAPs were made for a patient who had undergone total glossectomy. PAP1 almost filled the oral cavity with the floor of the mouth barely touching it. For PAP2 and 3, the width and height were reduced, respectively. Speech was most intelligible when using PAP3.
