35
Q

are oronasal fistulas or residual clefts more rare

A

residual clefts

36
Q

cons of residual clefts

A

interferes with speech therapy

37
Q

effects of oronasal fistula and residual cleft depend on ?

A
  • size (larger = more symptomatic)
  • location (under tongue tip is problematic)
  • may cause nasal regurgitation
38
Q

normal feeding

A
  • combination of compression and suction to extract milk from teat
  • compression helps push milk out of teat and suction results in milk being extracted from the teat
39
Q

compression definition

A
  • positive pressure on teat
  • teat placed between palate and tongue
40
Q

suction definition

A
  • negative pressure created within the oral cavity
  • lower jaw drops, tongue and nasal cavity seal off resulting in an enlarged sealed chamber
41
Q

common feeding difficulties with cleft lip and palate

A
  • poor suction
  • weak suck
  • difficulty holding binky in mouth
  • poor intake with long breastfeeding sessions
  • nasal regurgitation
  • intake of extra air
  • feeding
  • poor weight gain
  • stressful feedings
42
Q

what are the two most common feeding difficulties with cleft lip and palate

A
  • inefficient suck
  • inability to develop adequate intraoral negative pressure
43
Q

what muscle controls opening of the eustachian tube

A

tensor veli palatini

44
Q

what nerve supplies the muscle that controls the opening of the eustachian tube

A

CNV (trigeminal)

45
Q

eustachian tube function

A

middle air aeration and drainage

46
Q

do children with cleft palate have a greater, less than, or equal risk of conductive hearing loss and why?

A
  • greater
  • high incidences of OME which causes conductive hearing loss
47
Q

OME treatments

A
  • grommets
  • hearing aids
48
Q

1 con of grommets

A

can’t have loads of sets because they can cause scarring to the paper-thin ear drum

49
Q

which tooth is most affected

A

lateral incisor

50
Q

dental variation associated with clefts

A
  • number of teeth
  • enamel formation
  • eruption of teeth
  • teeth formation delay
  • missing, fused, peg-shaped teeth
51
Q

how do dental anomalies affect speech

A

minimal effect on articulation

52
Q

alveolar bone graft

A
  • usually graft bone from hip to the gums
  • repairs the hole in the gum ridge and stabilizes the bone arch, providing support for the roots of the developing teeth to grow
53
Q

types of occlusion

A
  • class I
  • class II
  • class III
54
Q

which occlusion impacts speech the most and why

A
  • class III
  • lack of maxillary space, the tongue may have insufficient space to function
  • anterior tongue tip sounds may be incorrectly articulated (lateralization and palatalization of consonants)
  • difficult to achieve labiodental placement (bilabial or dentolabial fricatives)
55
Q

maxillary osteotomy definition

A

jaw realignment surgery

56
Q

nasal speech sounds and velopharyngeal position

A
  • n, m, ŋ
  • open
57
Q

oral speech sounds/vowels and velopharyngeal position

A
  • p, b, t, d, k, g, f, v, s, z, ʃ, ʒ, ʧ, ʤ
  • vowels
  • closed
58
Q

front oral speech sounds

A

p, b, t, d, f, v, s, z

59
Q

back oral speech sounds

A

k, g

60
Q

velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD) definition

A

insufficient soft palate closure

61
Q

cleft VPD causes

A

structural

62
Q

structural cleft VDP causes

A
  • unrepaired cleft palate
  • postsurgical insufficiences (palatal length too short, postadenoidectomy)
63
Q

why should adenoids not be removed in children with cleft palate

A

can supplement for VPI

64
Q

can tonsils cause VPI

A

yes

65
Q

non-cleft VPD causes

A
  • structural
  • neurogenic
  • mislearning
66
Q

non-cleft velopharyngeal structural insufficiency

A
  • mechanical interference (excessive tonsils)
  • palatopharyngeal disproportion (long pharynx, short palate)
  • ablative palatal lesions (cancer, traumatic injury)
67
Q

non-cleft velopharyngeal neurogenic incompetency

A
  • dysarthria
  • apraxia
68
Q

non-cleft velopharyngeal mislearning

A
  • phoneme-specific nasal emission
  • persisting postoperative nasal emission
  • compensatory misarticulations
  • deafness/hearing impairment
69
Q

routine procedure if VPI appears postadenoidectomy

A

wait 1 year to see if it resolves on its own

70
Q

effects of VPI on speech

A
  • hypernasality
  • nasal emission/turbulence
  • passive cleft speech characteristics
71
Q

on which phonemes are hypernasality usually perceived on

A

vowels and consonants

72
Q

in severe hypernasality which sounds can be perceived as nasal sounds

A

p, b, g

73
Q

hypernasality/hyponasality assessment

A

Temple Street Scale of Nasality and Nasal Airflow (mild, mild-moderate, moderate, moderate-severe, severe)

74
Q

hyponasality cause

A
  • nasal airway is (partially) blocked
  • posterior entrance to the nasal cavity
75
Q

hypernasality cause

A

too much air escapes through velum

76
Q

nasal airflow errors

A

inappropriate escape of air through the nose during speech

77
Q

types of nasal airflow errors

A
  • nasal emission
  • nasal turbulence
78
Q

nasal emission

A
  • audible escape of air through the nose
  • perceived as frictional sound
  • accompanies a phoneme
79
Q

nasal turbulence

A
  • audible escape of air through the nose
  • perceived as turbulent or snorting sound
  • accompanies a phoneme
80
Q

difference between nasal turbulence and emission

A
  • nasal emission, palate is more open causing less noise but more severe
  • nasal turbulence, palate is more closed causing more noise but less severe
81
Q

types of cleft speech characteristics

A
  • active
  • passive
82
Q

active cleft speech characteristics

A
  • adaptive/mislearning
  • compensatory
83
Q

A

articulation is altered in response to previous or present abnormal structure

84
Q

passive cleft speech characteristics

A
  • structurally or physiologically related
  • obligatory
85
Q

obligatory cleft speech characteristics definition

A
  • articulation is normal
  • abnormal structure results in distortion of the speech sound
