The focused question was constructed according to the PICO (participant, intervention, comparison, and outcome) approach, and a three-stage screening in PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases with Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) terms was performed. The National Institute of Health (NIH) tool, \u201cQuality Assessment Tool for Before-After (Pre-Post) Studies with No Control Group,\u201d was employed for risk of bias assessment, and the data was synthesized qualitatively, according to the Synthesis without Meta-Analysis (SWiM) reporting guideline.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The initial search resulted in 131 articles, 80 were screened based on title and abstract, 11 full text articles were assessed for eligibility, and 9 articles were evaluated. Eight studies (88.9%) were characterized as fair and one as good. The total sample size included 176 participants. The \u201cbefore\u201d assessment was performed post-operatively, before PAP insertion, and the \u201cafter\u201d at a time point ranging from after PAP insertion to a mean time of 9.3 (10.6) months, with a follow-up period ranging from 2\u00a0weeks to 82\u00a0months (mean time of 13.7 (17.3) months). Speech intelligibility was evaluated in eight studies. Six studies assessed swallowing and deglutition. Lingual movement dynamics of the center of the tongue, mastication ability, and patients\u2019 reported experience with PAP were each evaluated in one study. QoL assessment was performed in two studies. The results of this systematic review indicate that PAP has a significant effect in improving speech intelligibility, swallowing efficacy, masticatory function, patients\u2019 perceived outcomes, and overall QoL in HNC survivors with partial or total glossectomy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Due to the particular defect site\u2013related disabilities, patients with tongue resection could benefit from PAP prostheses.
