Abstract
Handicap due to the loss of teeth in patients can be severe due to the impairment of masticatory function and facial disfigurement leading to negative psychological impact on the individual. To combat this, apart from the regular measures of positioning the teeth to obtain lip support, excellent denture esthetics can be achieved by providing additional support to the slumped tissues. This clinical report highlights a technique to provide support for sunken cheeks using detachable acrylic cheek plumpers, retained using iron-neodymium close-field magnets. The use of these magnets is a modification from the conventional technique of supporting the slumped tissues.
