Pharyngeal obturator prostheses restore the congenital or acquired defects of the soft palate and allow adequate closure of palatopharyngeal sphincter. Two patients with soft palate defect and subsequent velopharyngeal insufficiency were rehabilitated using pharyngeal obturator prostheses which had different retention mechanisms. Since it is necessary for swallowing and intelligible speech, the patients were examined in terms of adequate velopharyngeal closure after prosthetic treatment. The results were satisfying for both the patients and physicians.
咽阻塞器假体可修复先天性或后天性软腭缺损，并使腭咽括约肌充分闭合。两名患有软腭缺损及随后出现腭咽功能不全的患者使用了具有不同固位机制的咽阻塞器假体进行修复。由于吞咽和清晰发音都需要，因此在假体治疗后对患者进行了腭咽闭合是否充分的检查。结果对患者和医生来说都令人满意。
