    A simple, low-cost prosthesis significantly improved speech intelligibility in a patient with mandible and tongue resections. This patient-held device offers a risk-free, effective solution for glossectomy patients needing speech aid.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Speech-Language Pathology
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Mandible and tongue resections can severely impair speech intelligibility.
    • Existing speech rehabilitation methods may be complex or costly.

    Observation:

    • A patient-held prosthesis was utilized to address speech deficits post-resection.
    • The prosthesis was subjectively perceived and objectively verified to improve speech.

    Findings:

    • Speech intelligibility showed marked improvement with the use of the patient-held prosthesis.
    • No adverse risks or extensive therapy were associated with the device.

    Implications:

    • This simple, low-cost prosthesis demonstrates potential value for glossectomy patients.
