Abstract: Velopharyngeal (VP) insufficiency is a defect of the soft palate which renders the palatopharyngeal sphincter incomplete. In cases where a surgically repaired soft palate is too short to contact the pharyngeal walls during function, speech aid prosthesis or speech bulbs are optimum choices of treatment. This case report elaborates the correction of hypernasality of speech associated with VP insufficiency, by means of speech aid prosthesis. This speech bulb is a extension of heat cure acrylic material into the defect area making a barrier between oral and nasal cavity. This improved the hypernasality, speech, comfort, retention, and overall patient acceptance.
Keywords: Velopharynx, Velopharyngeal insufficiency, Palatopharyngeal sphincter, Hypernasality of speech, Velopharyngeal closure, Pharyngeal obturator, Hollow bulb obturator
