The development of speech is a very demanding and complex process that requires the cooperation of the entire organism. It begins with the child’s first cry at birth and continues to develop intensively until approximately six years of age. (3) Respiratory organs (respirators or initiators), vocal organs (phonators or generators) and speech organs (articulators) participate in the process of speech production. Most speech organs are located in the oral cavity and include the teeth, alveolar process, hard and soft palate, tongue, lower jaw and lips. (8) Health and orderly anatomical relations between the speech organs of the oral cavity are necessary for the proper development of speech. Otherwise, there are conditions inside the oral cavity that may cause the development of articulation disorders. Therefore, conditions such as orofacial clefts, orthodontic anomalies, premature loss of primary teeth and ankyloglossia may disrupt normal speech development. (29, 31) The awareness of dental medicine doctors of the impact that the mentioned conditions have on speech is necessary due to the timely inclusion of the child in preventive and therapeutic procedures, both in the domain of dental medicine and in those requiring speech therapy.
