ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate speech sound production (SSP) in older edentulous patients provided with two different types of mandibular complete dentures (MCDs; conventional vs neutral zone). BackgroundRegarding the fact that complete dentures (CDs) affect SSP, it is unknown whether the set-up of the artificial teeth resulting from the neutral zone technique leads to a negative impact on SSP. Materials and methodsFor 21 participants, a conventional MCD and a MCD using a modified neutral zone technique (neutral zone dentures) were fabricated. The SSP was described using a phonetically balanced text, which was recorded digitally and evaluated. ResultsNo significant difference in SSP was observed. ConclusionWithin the limits of this study, it can be concluded that the application of the neutral zone technique in the mandible has no considerable impact on SSP.
