After the insertion of removable dentures for restoring partially edentulous arches, phonation
is affected by many factors, of which many influences are not completely understood. The …

Objective: To investigate the effects of the width and cross-sectional shape of the major
connectors of maxillary dentures located in the middle area of the palate on the accuracy of …

Background: A realistic approach to the phonetic aspect in complete denture construction is
most often subdued by various factors. The palatal rugae, an important landmark in speech …

edentulous patients provided with two different types of mandibular complete dentures …

INTRODUCTION: Phonetic adaptation is a complex biological phenomenon with a highly
individual course, depending on the patient's motivation to use prosthesis, on the functional …

Introduction: The conventional design of maxillary complete denture covers entire palate
and hinders the direct contact of the tongue with palate. Thus, adversely affect speech …
