    Area of Science:

    • Anatomy
    • Physiology
    • Speech Pathology

    Background:

    • The velopharyngeal mechanism's complex anatomy and physiology are not fully understood.
    • Velopharyngeal incompetence (VPI) presents challenges in speech and requires multidisciplinary management.
    • Understanding VPI pathogenesis is crucial for effective treatment strategies.

    Observation:

    • A case report details the successful use of a palatal lift appliance for VPI.
    • The study highlights the role of dental prostheses in managing VPI.
    • Interdisciplinary collaboration between speech pathologists and dentists is essential.

    Findings:

    • Palatal lift appliances can be an effective treatment option for specific VPI cases.
    • Comprehensive evaluation by speech pathologists and dentists is recommended for VPI patients.
