Detection Of Speech Intelligibility Distortion In Complete Denture Users: A Practical Overview for Clinicians on Identifying and Predicting Speech Disorders Through Acoustic Parameters

Key Points

• The booklet serves as a practical resource for dentists, prosthodontists, and related clinicians to anticipate and identify speech intelligibility issues in individuals using complete dentures by employing a prediction score outlined in the material.

• Speech distortion is linked to denture fabrication or fitting problems and manifests in acoustic traits such as how long sounds last (duration), their pitch (frequency), and their loudness (intensity). These are defined as duration (milliseconds), frequency (hertz), and intensity (decibels).

• The document covers the concept of speech intelligibility disorder, details the key acoustic parameters, outlines objective examination approaches, discusses speech distortion, and provides a web-based tool for detection along with references; it is developed by a team from Universitas Indonesia.
