Defects such as cleft palate often co-occur with velopharyngeal (VP) incompetence, leading to dysfunction and a characteristic nasal snort in patients. With the evolution of treatment concepts, treatment of cleft palate patients has been introduced where obturators have helped improve the speech of individuals with partial or total velar defects, that is, cleft of the soft palate. The soft palate separates the oral and nasal cavities. Treatment of VP function, especially VP incompetence, by palatal lift appliances, has become a part of the current trend for the rehabilitation of VP dysfunction. This case report describes the rehabilitation of a dentulous patient with a congenital soft palate defect using a functional impression technique in which a palatal plate with a solid one-piece pharyngeal obturator prosthesis has been used.

腭裂等缺陷常与腭咽(VP)功能不全同时出现,导致患者出现功能障碍和典型的鼻鼾。随着治疗理念的发展,已引入针对腭裂患者的治疗方法,其中阻塞器有助于改善部分或完全软腭缺陷(即软腭裂)患者的语音。软腭分隔口腔和鼻腔。通过腭提升矫治器治疗VP功能,尤其是VP功能不全,已成为当前VP功能障碍康复趋势的一部分。本病例报告描述了一名无牙先天性软腭缺陷患者的康复治疗,采用功能性印模技术,使用了带有一体式坚固咽阻塞器假体的腭板。
