Rugae Duplication – Different Techniques Of Customizing Palatal Rugae in Maxillary Complete Denture to Enhance Phonetics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Speech is imperative for human communication. Therefore, phonetics must be considered , along with mechanics and esthetics as the integral factors in contributing to the success of a dental prothesis . Palatal rugae contours have a very important role in phonetics, by production of linguopalatal sounds that involves the contact between tongue and palate. By customizing palatal contours of a maxillary denture to the tongue, the patient may easily adapt to the definitive denture contour, which in turn shortens or eliminates the adjustment period for the achievement of proper speech. This review article deals with different methods of palatine rugae duplication in complete denture prosthesis to improve phonetics, besides briefly describing its role in various other fields such as sex determination, orthodontics and forensic odontology.
