The prime requisite of a sound and holistic prosthodontic rehabilitation from both the patient's and clinician's perspective is to be able to satiate the yardsticks of function, retention, aesthetics and comfort to the fullest. It is thereby astoundingly hard to digest that speech being an indispensably significant function of the complete denture prosthesis, is often seen upon as heedless and inconsiderate by the patient. Adaptability in speech pronunciation of complete denture prosthesis is a subjective phenomenon; cannot be predicted to entirety. To diagnose and verify speech difficulties in a complete denture patient who finds it relatively difficult to affirm to new palatal contours of prostheses, we require some simple clinical aids. Palatogram is a fairly simple, yet highly efficacious technique of assessment and verification of palatal contours, so as to improve and correct the existent speech deficiencies of affected sounds. In the present case report, readily available food colour in spray form was employed to produce and investigate inadequacies of various sounds. This case report highlights palatogram as an easy clinical technique that helps to correct, often delinquent speech difficulties, pertaining to the palatal contours of complete denture prosthesis.
从患者和临床医生的角度来看，进行健全且全面的口腔修复治疗的首要要求是能够最大程度地满足功能、固位、美观和舒适等标准。然而，令人惊讶的是，语音作为全口义齿修复体不可或缺的重要功能，却常常被患者忽视。全口义齿修复体语音发音的适应性是一种主观现象，无法完全预测。对于那些发现相对难以适应新的义齿腭部轮廓的全口义齿患者，要诊断和验证其语音困难，我们需要一些简单的临床辅助手段。腭图是一种相当简单但非常有效的评估和验证腭部轮廓的技术，以便改善和纠正受影响声音现有的语音缺陷。在本病例报告中，使用了现成的喷雾形式的食用色素来产生和研究各种声音的不足之处。本病例报告强调了腭图作为一种简单的临床技术，有助于纠正与全口义齿修复体腭部轮廓相关的、常常被忽视的语音困难。
