Abstract
Some of the surgical results for congenital cleft palate patients fail to secure adequate velopharyngeal closure with living tissue. In these instances, the dentist must provide the mechanism by which the patient may produce acceptable speech. A technique for the construction of a restoration with a hinged palatovelar section has been described. This technique does not require redivision of the surgically closed palate for many patients. The restorations are stable and exert minimal stress upon abutment teeth. They have been comfortable and have been well accepted by patients.
