To assess speech disturbances caused by newly made prostheses, visual and acoustical methods, palatograms, sound spectrograms, etc., have been used. But the analysis and assessment requires somewhat professional knowledge and experience and much time, so such methods are not necessarily easier, and have the defect of being somewhat subjective. The purpose of this study is to develop a new speech test that is easy to use and more objective using the speech recognition unit. First, experimental palatal plates were made for a dentulous subject, and the utility of the speech recognition unit was estimated. The speech recognition unit and ordinary hearing were compared in utterance of ten Japanese monosyllables,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
