Phonetic Adaptation in Upper Full Denture Wearer Based on Palatogram

Objectives: To obtain phonetic adaptation time of upper complete denture wearer based on the gold standard of Indonesian linguo-palatal consonant palatogram, especially in pronouncing ‘s’ and ‘z’ sound. The second objective is to analyze relationship between position of upper first incisive and freeway space of the upper complete denture wearer with the phonetic adaptation, based on the gold standard of Indonesian linguo-palatal consonant, in order to be able to pronounce linguo-palatal consonant, especially ‘s’ and ‘z’ sound.
Methods: The subject consist of 35 upper denture wearers. The palatogram record was taken on upper complete denture by asked the subject to pronounce ‘s’ and ‘z’ sound after some P.I.P material was put on the palatal plate. The measurement of freeway space was done using Willis Gauge and the measurement of the position of the anterior teeth was done by measuring the distance between the labial surface of the right central incisor and the midline of the incisive papilla on the upper full denture plate using Boney Gauge. This study was analyzed with univariat and bivariat analysis (Repeated ANOVA test and Spearman Correlation test).
Results: Upper denture wearer need 10-14 days to adapt with ‘s’ and ‘z’ consonant, with means and standard deviation in phonetics ‘s’ and ‘z’ are 844.45±83.27 and 939.52±132,29. There are significant negative relationship between position of the upper first right incisive and phonetic adaptation time in ‘s’ and ‘z’ sound (‘s’ sound p 0,010 and R -0.542;’z’ sound p 0.000 and R -0.962). There are no significant relationship between freeway space and phonetic adaptation time.
Conclusions: Upper denture wearer need 10-14 days to adapt with ‘s’ and ‘z’ consonant. The position of the anterior teeth plays important role in phonetic adaptation of upper full denture wearer especially ‘s’ and ‘z’ sound.
