The use of computerized techniques to assist in the design of palatal and/or glossal prostheses is described. Patients with oropharyngeal resection and associated speech impairment are candidates for such prostheses. Procedures discussed allow for the design of some features of the prosthesis, such as shape, location, and tests of its effect on certain speech parameters, prior to actual fabrication. Advantages and current limitations of the techniques are also discussed.
本文描述了利用计算机技术辅助设计腭部和/或舌部假体的方法。口咽切除及相关言语障碍的患者是这类假体的适用对象。文中讨论的程序允许在实际制作假体之前，设计其一些特征，如形状、位置，并测试其对某些言语参数的影响。还讨论了这些技术的优点和当前的局限性。
