The surgical treatment should be preferred for cleft palate patients in childhood. However, a prosthesis is favorable for some adult patients. The construction of prostheses are rather complicated for patients who require pharyngeal speech aid in addition to anterior prosthesis. Sound prosthodontic rules are valid in designing a speech aid prostheses. Often stability and retention increase is required for these prostheses. Furthermore, the velar and the pharyngeal sections should not interfere with the muscular activity of pharynx and/or tongue movements during speech and deglutition. This article describes the prosthodontic habilitation of congenital cleft palate patients by means of pharyngeal speech aid prosthesis.
腭裂患儿应首选手术治疗。然而，对于一些成年患者，使用义齿更为合适。对于除前部义齿外还需要咽部语音辅助的患者，义齿的制作相当复杂。合理的口腔修复原则在设计语音辅助义齿时是有效的。这些义齿通常需要提高稳定性和固位力。此外，腭部和咽部部分在言语和吞咽过程中不应干扰咽部的肌肉活动和/或舌头运动。本文介绍了通过咽部语音辅助义齿对先天性腭裂患者进行口腔修复康复治疗的方法。
