Obturation of the partial soft palate defect
Copyright policy )Obturation of the partial soft palate defect
A partially resected soft palate represents a more significant challenge for effective prosthodontic obturation than for complete soft palate resections. In fact, for some patients it may not be possible to prosthetically rehabilitate with partial soft palate resections, resulting in velopharyngeal dysfunction, which could include hypernasal voice quality and nasal regurgitation of food and liquids. This article presents a technique for recording the contours of a partial soft-palate defect for prosthetic obturation.
