The swallowing patterns of four patients with oral cancer with intraoral palate reshaping/lowering protheses were studied with and without their prostheses 3 months postoperatively. The prostheses resulted in improved swallow efficiency, increased duration of tongue contact to the pharyngeal wall, and improved speed of movement of the bolus from the valleculae to the pyriform sinus. These results emphasize the effects of the tongue on the pharyngeal as well as oral stage of the swallow.
对4名患有口腔癌并接受口内腭重塑/降低假体治疗的患者在术后3个月佩戴和不佩戴假体的情况下的吞咽模式进行了研究。假体提高了吞咽效率，增加了舌头与咽壁接触的持续时间，并提高了食团从会厌谷到梨状窦的移动速度。这些结果强调了舌头在吞咽的咽部阶段以及口腔阶段所起的作用。
