Abstract

This report is a case of 38-year old female patient who had a chief complaint about having pronounciation disorder after going under mass excision due to mucoepidermoid carcinoma. She was referred to department of prosthodontics, Yonsei university. Palatal lift prosthesis was fabricated which was then relined with tissue conditioner. Evaluations on phonetics and swallowing were done and improvements were shown. Tissue conditioner was replaced with heat polymerizing resin and the patient was satisfied with the results of treatment.

본 증례는 2016년 점액표피양 암종으로 인해 종괴 제거 후 발음이 잘 되지 않는다는 주소로 연세대학교 치과대학병원 보철과로 의뢰 된 38세 여환으로, 구개 거상장치를 제작하고 연성 이장재를 사용하여 연구개를 거상시켜 발음 및 연하 개선 여부를 확인하였으며 최종적으로 열중합 레진으로 교체하였다. 이후 환자는 발음 및 연하에 있어 만족할만한 결과를 보였다. 따라서 본 증례를 보고하는 바이다.
