Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in speech characteristics and self-perceived quality of speech in tooth wear patients, after occlusal rehabilitation. Materials and methods Patients with tooth wear were included in this study after informed consent. The amount of tooth wear was scored with Tooth Wear Evaluation System (TWES). To assess the perspective of the patient, the Dutch Speech Handicap Index was used (SHI). Acoustic analysis was performed to evaluate changes with the use of voice recordings. These were made before treatment, T0; directly after treatment, T1; 1 month after treatment, T2. With the use of PRAAT software, the spectral characteristic centre of gravity (COG) was evaluated for the sounds /s/, /f/, /v/, /d/, /t/, /m/. Results Recordings of 17 patients (14 men, 3 women, mean age 41.2 ± 10.4 years) were included. SHI scores did not change significantly between T0 and T2 (p = 0.054). A multiple regression model showed that for all sounds the intercept was negative, but statistically significant only for /s/ and /f/ between T0 and T1. The effect of the initial change (between T0 and T1) on the change between T1 and T2 was clearly negative for all sounds (p < 0.001), showing a rebound effect ranging between 29 and 68% of the initial change. Conclusion Tooth wear patients perceive improvement in speech function after treatment. Clinical significance Clinicians may explain to patients that speech is likely to alter for a short period due to treatment but that there will be a good adaption to the new situation.

The book contains a theory of knowledge, self-trust, autonomy, and consciousness. It takes an explanatory system, a theory, to solve philosophical problems, whatever the risk of error. The theory is a coherence theory of knowledge, a defensibility theory of knowledge. The defensibility is an internal capacity supplied by an evaluation system to defend the target claim. Defense or justification that is sustained by truth in the background system is defensible knowledge. Exemplar representation of conscious experience, exemplarization, connects the system with truth by making experience self-representational. The truth-maker and the representation of it are one. The exemplarized experiences also become exhibits of what it is like to experience external entities radiating to represent them. In this way, the accepted premises of our experience, our exemplar representations, become part of the justification and defense of target knowledge claims within our evaluation system.
