Résumé
An implant-retained maxillofacial overdenture with a pharyngeal speech aid prosthesis was fabricated for a patient with a nonsurgically treated cleft palate who was unable to achieve velopharyngeal closure. Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing were used to fabricate a metal-reinforced prosthesis using the Ivotion Denture System and subtractive manufacturing with geographic guides. Magnetic attachments were incorporated to improve the retention and stability of the prosthesis. Masticatory function, deglutition, and esthetics were found to be improved at the 6-month follow-up.
