Abstract

Hypernasality and nasal regurgitation of food and liquids are the common problems associated with vasopharyngeal insufficiency. Surgery is the preferred treatment for soft palate defect but for those patients who cannot undergo surgical treatment, prosthetic treatment combined with speech therapy is the treatment of choice. It is a prosthodontic challenge to rehabilitate a patient with partial resection of soft palate. This clinical report describes the prosthetic rehabilitation of a completely edentulous patient who had undergone surgical resection of soft palate due to squamous cell carcinoma with a hollow speech aided complete denture prosthesis.
