Abstract
A palatal defect may result from surgical resection, and its consequences could include difficulty in speech and nasal regurgitation of food and liquids. An obturator combined to speech aid prosthesis can improve nasal emission during speech, and assist in preventing nasal regurgitation of food. This article presents a clinical report of the reconstruction of palatopharyngeal function by prosthetic obturator and speech aid.
