Abstract
Defects such as cleft palate often co-occur with velopharyngeal (VP) incompetence, leading to dysfunction and a characteristic nasal snort in patients. With the evolution of treatment concepts, treatment of cleft palate patients has been introduced where obturators have helped improve the speech of individuals with partial or total velar defects, that is, cleft of the soft palate. The soft palate separates the oral and nasal cavities. Treatment of VP function, especially VP incompetence, by palatal lift appliances, has become a part of the current trend for the rehabilitation of VP dysfunction. This case report describes the rehabilitation of a dentulous patient with a congenital soft palate defect using a functional impression technique in which a palatal plate with a solid one-piece pharyngeal obturator prosthesis has been used.
