Phonetics, esthetics, function, and comfort form the foundation of a successful dental prosthesis. A review of the mechanics of speech as well as common speech problems encountered with a removable maxillary prosthesis are presented. The use of a palatogram to aid the clinician in the assessment and resolution of speech problems associated with a maxillary denture is demonstrated.
A procedure is described that uses a vacuum-formed clear template to facilitate occlusal modifications of natural mandibular teeth opposing a maxillary complete denture. This procedure ensures that the amount of tooth reduction planned on the articulator can be accurately transferred to the mouth and it allows more precise odontoplasty.
