Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze sound pronunciation in patients who are completely toothless (edentulous) before and after they received complete removable dentures.
- By using spectral analysis on recordings of phrases, researchers evaluated specific pronunciation issues and compared the results of treated patients with a control group that had normal pronunciation.
- Results showed significant improvement in the pronunciation of sounds "S," "F," and "V" after treatment, indicating that prosthodontic treatment can enhance speech quality in edentulous patients.
