denture after surgery and with fixed denture on MDI). Positioning of the test (the camera, test items and score form) was each time the same. The subjects were invited by the independent speech therapist. Each time an adaptation period of minimum one month was respected. The subjects were evaluated according to the methods used in the study of Van Lierde et al. (2011)17 including an assessment of articulation, oromyofunctional behavior and satisfaction. The whole test took 20 minutes.
Articulation
A perceptive evaluation was used to assess the articulation of the subjects. The evaluation was performed by means of a picture naming test. 27 This test requires the subjects to name 135 pictures of common subjects and actions. It elicits all speech samples containing instances of all Dutch single sounds and most consonant clusters in all permissible syllable positions. The samples were recorded digitally with a video camera recorder (Sony Corporation, DCR-SR75E, Tokyo, Japan). The evaluation included a phonetic inventory and phonetic analysis. A sound was considered to be present in the inventory when at least two instances of the production were found. Two speech-language therapists (E.F and L.B.) firstly rated independently. In case of disagreement, the samples were replayed and discussed until a consensus was reached. Interrater reliability is displayed in table 1.
