[Influence of experimental palatal plate on mandibular position during continuous [n] phonation in complete denture wearers].

Objective: To clarify the influence of an experimental palatal plate on the mandibular position during continuous [n] phonation and at the physiological rest position in complete denture wearers.

Methods: Ten complete denture wears volunteers were investigated. Two kinds of experimental palatal plate with a thickness of 3 mm and 5 mm (from the denture basal surface to denture polished surface) were fabricated and used for each subject.
