Abstract
We report a case of a carcinoma of the oral floor with post-operative dysphagia which improved with a palatal augmentation prosthesis.<br>An 82-year-old man was hospitalized because of swelling and pain of the oral floor and dysarthria. He underwent an operation for removal of the tumor one month after the first visit.<br>Although he started water-drinking training on the seventh postoperative day, he had a swallowing disorder. He had a videofluoroscopic (VF) examination which showed that the swallowing disorder was caused by an inability to contact the palate with the tongue. Therefore we made a palatal augmentation prosthesis to improve his swallowing function. He received a videofluoroscopic (VF) examination again, which demonstrated an increase in the area and time of linguopalatal contact during swallowing. He became able to expectorate and to swallow pasty substances.
