5. Phonetics :
The study of speech sounds, their production and
combination and their representation by written symbols.
OR The description and analysis of the sounds of a particular
language.
Phonemics :
The description and classification of the phonemes of the
specific language.
Phoneme :
A set of phonetically similar but slightly differing stand in
a language that are heard as a same sound by native speakers and
are represented in phonemic transcription by the same symbol.
Eg : Phoneme |P| includes phonetically differentiated sounds
represented by P in pin, spin, tip.

ANATOMY OF SPEECH
12. SOUNDS OF SPEECH
Vowels Diphthongs Consonants Combinations
Vowels :
• Continuous harmonic sounds
• “aaaa – eeee – uuuu”
• ‘a, e, i, o & u’ a, i, u are extreme
• E & O are between these extreme positions
13. Diphthongs :
• Diphthongs are blends of two vowels spoken within a single
syllable without interruption of phonation.
Eg: main, tine, tone
Consonants :
• Impeded, diverted or interrupted
• Voiced or breathed
• Most affected by dental or occlusal anomalies and dental
interventions.
Combinations :
• Blend of consonant and vowel articulated in quick succession
- identified as a single phoneme although the blend can be
separated into two component sounds. Eg: Beauty.
14. CLASSIFICATION OF CONSONANTS
Manner of production
Laterals Plosives Fricatives
Liquids
Retroflexes Glides Nasals
Affricatives
Plosives :
• Overpressure contact between soft palate and pharyngeal wall.
Eg: |p| & |b|, |t| & |d|, |k| & |g|
Fricatives :
• Air stream is forced through a constriction resulting in turbulent,
noisy air flow.
Eg: s & z; sh & zh, f & v, θ & δ.
• Sibilants – ‘s’ like sound
• Misarticulation of sibilants – lisping / sigmatism.
15. Affricatives :
• Combination of plosives and fricatives
|ts| in cheese |dz| in jungle.
Nasals :
• Produced without oral exit of air |m|, |n| & |
ng|
Glides :
• Gradual changing articular shape |w| & |j|
• Little impedance to air stream
• Approximants
Retroflexes :
• The tip of tongue is bent backward
16. Laterals :
• Body of the tongue is raised and air streams past to right and
left of the tongue.
• Laminar air flow. Eg : | l |
• |r| & |l | - semivowels – least impedance.
Liquids :
• Produced without friction
• Nasal and semivowels
• Continuants Fricatives, Nasals and Semivowels.
17. ACCORDING TO LARYNGEAL ACTION
Voice less / surd
• Aperiodic sound produced
by impedance within oral
cavity
Voiced / sonant
• Counterpart of surds
• Produced in similar manner
with vibration of adducted
vocal folds.

18. Pressure characteristics :
• Variation in amount of intraoral breath pressure
• Fricatives, affricatives and plosives – pressure consonants
• Continuants > non continuants
• Voiceless > voiced
Place of production :
• Most meaningful
19. • Upper incisors and labiolingual center to the posterior
third of the lower lip.
• /F/ & /v/
LABIODENTAL
20. • Tip of tongue extending slightly between upper and lower
anterior teeth.
• Sounds are made closer to alveolus.
• /Th/ in ‘this’, ‘theta’
LINGUODENTAL CONSONANT
21. 10 sounds – divided into 5 types depending on distinct place
and manner of production
a) t & d ; n
LINGUOALVEOLAR
22. b) Fricatives s & z
Formation of a midline groove of the tongue
23. c) Fricatives |s | & |z| ‘sh’ & ‘zh’
• Broader groove compared to s & z
• Can be discussed as linguopalatal
24. d) |ts| & |dz| linguoalveolar or palatal affricatives
Tongue placement plosives air exploded through
constriction.
25. e) Lateral |l|
• Tip of tongue in contact with alveolus
• Lowered lateral margins – facilitates air flow .
26. • |r| & |j| - produced by lingual approximation to some portion
of the palate.
• |r| tip of the tongue is often pointed to an immediately post
dental area.
• Tongue blades are arched and tip points down.
• Phoneme adjacent to |r| will determine the contour of the
tongue.
LINGUOPALATAL
27. |j| - Linguopalatal glide
Tongue raised toward the front of hard palate but in
the course it moves to a position appropriate for articulation
of phoneme.
28. Linguovelar |k|, |g| & |ng|
•Contact of the middle of the tongue with soft palate.
29. BILABIAL
Lip closure
|p|, |b| & |m|
I/O breath pressure is
impounded behind closed lips
Lip rounding
|w|
Moves to appropriate position
30. Glottal consonant |h|
• Turbulence created when breath stream passes between
partially approximated vocal folds.
• Palatopharyngeal valve is closed
• Tongue & lip position do not influence
31. Tongue – Principal articulator :
• Key to speech learning
• Divided into 3 parts
32. DEVELOPMENT OF SPEECH SKILL
1. Speech sound mastery
• 2 ½ yr : 27 phonemes
• 8 yrs : All consonants

33. 3. Hearing loss
• Deaf or profoundly hard of hearing :
Slow acquisition of symbol system
Intelligible speech
• Less severe:
Loss of vocal melody
Control of intensity
Fricatives and affricates
4. Impairment of motor control
• Cerebral palsy, neuromuscular impairment
• Spastic cerebral palsy
• Athetosis, chorea, dystonia
• Apraxia
34. 5. Specific language disability
• Difficulty in handling symbol system
• Sequencing and recall
• Dyslexia – reading disability
6. Psychosoical factor
• Number of people in family
• Relative position of child
• Socioeconomic status
35. Allen (1958) Morton (1963)
Denture thickness and peripheral outline
• Decrease in air volume and loss of tongue space.
• Thickness of denture base at the center of the palate.
• Overextended periphery – encroach on movable tissues.
Tanaka (1973)
• Palatal contour – adversely affects affricatives and fricatives.
• Significant improvement in speech with time.
Non anatomic papilla – source of turbulence,tactile locating point.
FACTORS IN DENTURE DESIGN AND SPEECH
36. Vertical dimension :
Meyer M. Silverman (1953) Method :
• Head position
• Centric occlusion line
• Closest speaking line
Reevaluation of VD – Clicking of teeth
• |m| - passive lip contact
• Strained lip contact or inability to contact lips : increase VD
No vertical overlap
37. Effect of tooth positioning : (Boucher)
• Insufficient support of lips.
• Anteroposterior positioning of anteriors.
• Problems in bilabials (p & b).
If placed far palatally
• Contact with lingual side of lower lip.
• Problems in labiodentals (f & v).
Occlusal plane
• Too high : V F
• Too low : F V
38. Linguoalveolar sounds :
• Incisors approach end-end but not touch.
• Check for relative positions of incisors.
• Failure to approach end-end possible error of overjet
• Linguodental sounds : This, That
• Amount of tongue that can be seen
• If < 3 mm : Anteriors too far forward.
Excessive overbite
• If > 6 mm : Teeth placed too far lingually.
Linguopalatal and linguovelar – less problem.
39. Postdam area :
• Thick base at postdam area
• Posteriorly squared instead of chamfered
Irritation dorsum of the tongue
Impeding speech and feeling of nausea.
• Inadequate PPS
Unseating of dentures on production of those sounds
having explosive effect.
Sudden repositioning of tongue to stabilize and control
dentures
Poor quality speech
40. Width of the dental arch :
Too narrow – cramped tongue as well air channel.
Faulty articulation of sounds requiring contact of tongue
blades to posterior teeth and alveolus.
Position of artificial teeth – close to natural dentition.
Christoph Runte et al (2001)
Poorer execution of |s| sound
Labial > palatal
Immediate phonetic adaptation –
max. incisors – original position
41. METHODS OF SPEECH ANALYSIS
a) Perceptual / acoustic
• Broadband spectrogram
-Recording by Sonograph
• Objective opinion of performance
b) Kinematic movement analysis
• X-ray mapping
• Cineradiography
• Optoelectronic articulatory movement tracking
• Electropalatography
Failure of conventional means
Why ?
• Basis for future comparison
• Identify problems
42. • Tongue contact patterns
• 60-80 contact electrodes
• EPG main unit
• Computer
• Record touched and untouched electrodes at high frequency
mapping.
Continuous palatography :
Plastic artificial palate protruding electrodes copper wire
amplifier and read out unit motion pictures
frame by frame analysis.
ELECTROPALATOGRAPHY
43. Palatograms :
• Leslie Allen (1958)
• No two individuals contacted exactly the same area –
similarity to constitute a pattern.
• S and SH – individual similarity and distinct pattern.
Study of vowels :
• Tongue – palatal contact for all except with |O|
• Phone |e| occurs singly
• U = (ee – oo) i = (i – ee)
44. Palatograms for consonants :
• Occurs in consort with vowels
Eg: t or d occlusive articulation e
a follows j & k.
e precedes s, n and l.
• Isolation of consonants on palatograms
Consonant produced initially vowel
Consonant + O = may not be a standard English word.
45. Sequence of palatograms :
1. s & sh palatograms are made
sh line – guide for waxing posterior alveolar area
s line – anterior alveolar area
• Formation of groove
• Whistling or hiss – larger goove
• Lisp (th for s) or indistinct ‘s’ – inadequate groove
• Sears – creation of groove
2. Palatograms for plosives (t, d) are made
3. Palatograms for ch & j are made
• Midanterior alveolar wax up may flow on palate bit
posteriorly.
46. TWO PHILOSOPHIES
Placing the artificial teeth in
Placing the artificial teeth in
the same relative position as

Limited value
• Severe resorption – anterior ridge gives no clue to natural tooth
position.
Speech tests :
Test I – Test of random speech
Test II – Test of specific speech sounds
Test III – Asking patient to read a short para
47. Remedial procedures for speech defects :
John M.Palmer 1974---- 5 steps
• Pre treatment speech assessment
• Accommodation period – 4 weeks
• Analysis of static – dynamic relationships
• Structural ( denture) adjustments
• Clinical speech consultation ( if needed)
Work of prosthodontist – primarily articulation and resonance
influences the role of dentition in
valving & speech production
49. Replacement of intended oral consonants formed farther
down the vocal tract.
To prevent adverse effect of defective articulator.
Distortion
Eg: Vowel pop for pipe
Consonants cah for car
DISORDERS OF ARTICULATION
Substitution
Eg: teef for teeth Omission
Eg: bow for boat
50. Testing for nasal balance :
• Vowels = resonated sound + little air flow.
• ee and oo hypernasality
• |m| hyponasality
• Undue nasal bridge vibration.
• Alternate occlusion and opening of nostrils
• Nasal emission of air with voiceless consonants
51. Test for articulation :
• Recording of abnormal sounds
Phonetic symbols on paper or electronically on tape,
disc or spectrogram.
• Talking when nostrils open or closed.
• Wrinkles on nasal alae.
• Abnormal tongue movement – palatal defect
Eg: ‘n’ in banana.
52. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS OF VELOPHARYNGEAL
CLOSURE
Swallowing All 3 constrictors are fired, contact at lower level
Age up to 8 yrs below
Palatal Plane
Head position deeper nasopharynx
Sex males longer soft-palate
• Greater elevation
• Less amount of contact
• Higher positioning of inferior point
of contact

56. Total laryngectomy :
Rehabilitated by
• Training in oesophageal speech.
• Using electronic artificial larynx
• Asai technique
Epithelial lined tube
Excellent sound quality
Aspiration of saliva and food
57. 1. Oral and facial balance, mastication and speech.
2. Preservation of what is remaining.
3. Maximum retention and support.
4. Mouth preparations.
5. Minimum weight and size.
6. Material used.
7. Avoid displacement of soft tissues.
8. Least displacement.
9. Superior portion – nasal secretions.
Oral portion – tongue movements.
10. Placement of speech bulb – at greatest activity
