- Oral consonants are produced, including: • Stopped consonants • Fricative consonants
Essentials of Maxillofacial Prosthetic Appliance
- Must be easily seated in place comfortably and securely retained as much as possible
- Must be durable and easy to clean
- Must be made of material that can be easily adjusted and altered if needed
- Must be made of inert and biocompatible material
