title: [Palatograms and linguograms for studying misarticulation following surgery for tumors of the tongue and oral cavity floor].
abstract: This work deals with the mechanism of misarticulation following surgery for malignancies in the oral cavity. The underlying cause was dysfunction of the tongue due to partial or total resection, consequences of the resection of the mandible together with the oral cavity floor, or dysfunkction of the lower lip failing to seal the space of Donders. Anatomic alternations reveal themselves as shifts in the points of contact between structures of the articulation system noticeable on palatograms or linguograms. Limited mobility of tongue tip may affect speech, particularly in the case of sounds of the first and second articulation zone.
