VELOPHARYNGEAL DEFECT MANAGEMENT: A CASE REPORT
Journal Title: World Journal of Advance Healthcare Research - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Rehabilitation of a patient with partial resection of soft palate is a prosthodontic challenge. Surgery is the preferred treatment for speech correction in patients affected by velopharyngeal dysfunction which may not be feasible in many clinical situations. Prosthetic treatment combined with speech therapy is the treatment of choice in such patients who cannot be managed with surgical treatment. In velopharyngeal dysfunction, hypernasality and regurgitation of food and liquids is common if defect is not obturated. This case report describes rehabilitation of a patient with soft palate defect and subsequent velopharyngeal insufficiency by a velo-pharyngeal prosthesis
