Sažetak
Dental prosthesis is a foreign body in oral cavity and thus necessarily interferes with speech articulation. The purpose of this study was to examine influence of partial denture on speech quality and to show eventual differences in pronunciation of dental sounds c (ts), z (z), s (s) and postalveolar sounds č(tS), ž(), and š(). We have examined differences in pronunciation beetwen subject with removable partial dentures, the same group without partial dentures and a control group.
