Automatic Detection and Evaluation of Edentulous Speakers with Insufficient Dentures

چکیده
Dental rehabilitation by complete dentures is a state-of-the-art approach to improve functional aspects of the oral cavity of edentulous patients. It is important to assure that these dentures have a sufficient fit. We introduce a dataset of 13 edentulous patients that have been recorded with and without complete dentures in situ. These patients have been rated an insufficient fit of their dentures, so that additional (sufficient) dentures and additional speech recordings have been prepared. In this paper we show that sufficient dentures increase the performance of an ASR system by ca. 27 %. Based on these results, we present and discuss three different systems that automatically determine whether the dentures of an edentulous person have a sufficient fit or not. The system with the best performance models the recordings by GMMs and uses the mean vectors of these GMMs as features in an SVM. With this system we were able to achieve a recognition rate of 80 %.

متن کاملVarious prosthetic treatment options in complete edentulous patients with xerostomia: A literature review
Background and Aims: Xerostomia is a clinical condition that can affect the quality and quantity of saliva. Saliva is considered an important factor in retention of edentulous patient’s denture wearers. Thus, increasing the prevalence of xerostomia in modern societies is considered a limiting factor in the quality of denture retention. This article reviews the most common techniques of denture ...

متن کاملObjective vs. Subjective Evaluation of Speakers with and without Complete Dentures
For dento-oral rehabilitation of edentulous (toothless) patients, speech intelligibility is an important criterion. 28 persons read a standardized text once with and once without wearing complete dentures. Six experienced raters evaluated the intelligibility subjectively on a 5-point scale and the voice on the 4-point Roughness-Breathiness-Hoarseness (RBH) scales. Objective evaluation was perfo...
متن کاملOral health-related quality of life of edentulous patients after complete dentures relining.
BACKGROUND/AIM Tooth loss affects oral health-related life quality. More than a third of edentulous patients are not fully satisfied with their complete dentures and mainly complain of insufficient stability, retention, and pain during mastication. Solving the problem may include relining by materials that are based on silicone or acrylic. The aim of this study was to determine the level of pat...
