Pal J 16:24, Jan 1979 Cleft Speech There are variations in the way the ridge is positioned relative to the velum. The ridge moves in a highly consistent manner.
The riidge is more prominent when the head is extended.

Prosthet. Dent. 51:232, Feb., 1984 Speech Surgerized tongues cannot reach palate
to give normal articulation. Tongue contacts anterior palate for l and t, middle palate for
d,j, and g, and post. palate for k and c. Tissue condiotioning material is used on
the palate to make a functional impression. Lab procedures are described.

Shprintzen RJ et. al. A comprehensive study of pharyngeal flap surgery: Tailor made
flaps Cleft Pal J 1979; 16:46. Cleft Speech Three methods of pharyngeal flap surgery
were analyzed with fluoroscopy and nasopharyngoscopy. Post operative flap width was
tailored to the size of the gap in the velophayngeal sphincter. Speech analysis showed
that this led to an improvement.
