7
New cards

submucous cleft

A defect in the hard palate in the absence of an actual opening into the nasal cavity or a defect in the muscles of the soft palate that cannot be seen through the mucosal tissue but may cause disunity of the velar muscles, resulting in velopharyngeal incompetence and hypernasality

8
New cards

hypernasality

excessive nasal resonance

9
New cards

hyponasality

too little nasal resonance

10
New cards

velopharyngeal insuffiency

An anatomical defect of the velum that prevents adequate velopharyngeal closure

11
New cards

velopharyngeal incompetence

A dysfunction of an anatomically intact VP mechanism usually due to neuromuscular disorders.

12
New cards

velopharyngeal dysfunction

a condition where the velopharyngeal valve does not close consistently or completely during the production or oral sounds. May be due to either velopharyngeal insuffiency or imcompetenece

13
New cards

New cards

speech bulb obturator

A prosthetic device that may be considered when the velum is too short to close completely against the posterior pharyngeal wall; it consists of a retaining appliance and a bulb (usually made of acrylic) that fills in the pharyngeal space for speech.
