 Speech, OMF and OHRQoL in OD on MDI in the maxilla
Oromyofunction
Table 2 shows the results of the evaluation of oromyofunctional behavior before and during the procedure. Overall there are only 5 functions of the 25 functions evaluated as deviant. In the preoperative condition the participants present with immobility of the jaw (the lateral movement of the mandible is deprived), problems with clicking of the tongue against the palate, problems with whistling and tongue thrust during swallowing. With the provisional denture after insertion of the implants, patients still present with whistling problems, problems with clicking of the tongue against the palate and immobility of the jaw. With the implant connected horse-shoe denture, seven people still present with whistling problems, one participant still has problems with clicking the tongue against the palate, but two people present with the problem of lifting the tongue to the upper lip. This latter occurred in the last stage after insertion of the final prosthesis.
