Q

T/f

teeth position affects five out of the six speech valves, which play a role in sound production

A

Q

sounds made when both lips touch, like b, p, and m

A. BILABIAL SOUNDS
B. LABIODENTAL SOUNDS
C. LINGUODENTAL SOUNDS
D. LINGUOALVEOLAR SOUNDS
E. LINGUOPALATAL AND LINGUOALVEOLAR SOUNDS

A

A

Q

the position of the front teeth and how thick the part of the
denture that touches the lips is, can affect how well you make these sounds (anteroposterior position of anterior teeth and thickness of labial lange)

C. LINGUODENTAL SOUNDS
D. LINGUOALVEOLAR SOUNDS
E. LINGUOPALATAL AND LINGUOALVEOLAR SOUNDS

A

B

Q

like the th sound in “this”, are made by putting the tip of the tongue just between the upper and lower front teeth

o the sound is actually made closer to the gums (alveolus)
than right at the tip of the teeth

B. LABIODENTAL SOUNDS
C. LINGUODENTAL SOUNDS
D. LINGUOALVEOLAR SOUNDS
E. LINGUOPALATAL AND LINGUOALVEOLAR SOUNDS

A

C

Q

o if you can’t see about 3 mm of the tongue tip, the teeth are
likely too far forward, or the bite may be too deep, not
allowing enough space for the tongue to stick out

o if you can see more than 6 mm of the tongue sticking out between the teeth, the teeth are probably too far back

Q

this method looks at sound patterns using technology like a sonograph, which records the speech sounds

A. PERCEPTUAL OR ACOUSTIC ANALYSIS
B. KINEMATIC ANALYSIS

A

A

Q

→ this method tracks the movement of speech-related parts (like the tongue)

→ techniques include:
o ultrasonics and x-ray mapping (to see movement)
o cineradiography and optoelectronic tracking (which use videos and sensors to track movement)

o electropalatography (EPG) technique which maps where
the tongue touches the mouth while speaking

A. PERCEPTUAL OR ACOUSTIC ANALYSIS
B. KINEMATIC ANALYSIS

MANDIBULAR DENTURE ISSUES

problems like improper positioning of the lower denture teeth or thick lingual flanges can affect the production of sounds, such as “_____”

A

s

Q

a proper VDO should maintain a ____ mm separation between the upper and lower teeth while pronouncing the “s” sound

A

1-1.5

Q

for maxillary edentulous patients receiving an immediate loaded implant-supported prosthesis after wearing a denture for an extended period a ___month speech adaptation period should be expected, and patients should be informed about this

A

3- to 6-
