| description | Defects confined to the hard palate can be managed with relative ease because it is a static shelf creating oro- nasal separation. Since
the soft palate is a dynamic separator between the oral and nasal cavities, defects involving the soft palate require careful consideration.
Instrumental visualization methods can aid the fabrication of obturators in patients with such defects and prevent problems of under or over
obturation. This case report presents the prosthodontic management of a patient with a Veau class II cleft palate using a palatopharyngeal
obturator in order to re-establish normal functions of deglutition and speech. Nasendoscopy was used as an adjunctive procedure to assess velopharyngeal function with the prosthesis. |
