A technique for obturating palatal fistulas.

D J Reisberg, H O Gold, D S Dorf

    The Cleft Palate Journal
    |October 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    A novel nontoxic, self-adhesive material effectively obturates residual hard palate fistulas. This approach aids in speech assessments and serves as a temporary solution before surgical repair.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Speech-Language Pathology
    • Biomaterials Science

    Background:

    • Residual hard palate fistulas can impair speech and quality of life.
    • Accurate assessment of fistula contribution to speech disorders is crucial.
    • Current obturation methods may have limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a nontoxic, self-adhesive material for obturating residual hard palate fistulas.
    • To evaluate its utility in speech assessments.
    • To explore its role as an interim obturator.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a nontoxic, self-adhesive material for fistula obturation.
    • Employed perceptual and aerodynamic speech assessments.
    • Evaluated speech distortion and nasal air leakage.

    Main Results:

    • The material successfully obturated residual hard palate fistulas.
    • Enabled accurate evaluation of speech distortion.
    • Differentiated contributions of velopharyngeal port and fistula to nasal air leakage.

    Conclusions:

    • Nontoxic self-adhesive material is a viable option for obturating residual hard palate fistulas.
    • This material facilitates precise speech analysis.
    • It offers a valuable interim management strategy prior to surgical intervention.
