ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Therapy of malignant neoplasms of the tongue or oropharynx may cause dysphagia. Dysphagia in patients has negative significant social and psychological consequences. The six cases reports describe the effect of palatal augmentation prosthesis (PAP) on the management of dysphagia in patients with oral-pharyngeal cancer and as consequence of its treatment. The study also assesses PAP's effects on the quality of life of such patients.
