Esthetics redefined in completely edentulous patient by modified cheek props: A clinical case report

Abstract

Aesthetics plays an important role in a person’s social and professional life. Emphasis on facial esthetics has become an integral part of dental treatment. Prosthetic rehabilitation of a completely edentulous patient no longer confines to only replacement of missing teeth. Patients are increasingly demanding improvement in esthetics at the end of treatment. Slumped or hollow cheeks can add years to a person’s age. This article has described a simple, effective and noninvasive treatment alternative to improve facial appearance in a completely edentulous patient with hollow cheeks by making use of detachable hollow cheek plumper prosthesis.
