title: [Clinical-experimental examinations on phonetic function in edentulous patients and after insertion of total prostheses measured by the S-sound realization].
abstract: Lose of teeth and therapy by prosthesis interfering with the oral sectors that are necessary for S-sound articulation have an important influence on S-sound realization. Hitherto, the resulting S-sound changes used to be evaluated only from a subjective point of view. The application of a complex measuring technique for S-sound analysis permitted to determine the influence of the upper and lower jaw plates on S-sound formation by experiments. In another series of experiments, it was shown that edentulous patients are not able to pronounce the typical S-sound which, however, builds up again immediately after a total prosthesis is inserted. It then stabilizes further within a three-months period of adaptation.
