Abstract

Abstract Prosthodontic rehabilitation is incomplete without taking aesthetic considerations into mind, even in the elderly, who are assumed to be mainly concerned about the loss of masticatory ability rather than an alteration in appearance. The ageing process brings changes in facial appearance, which if more pronounced lead to unacceptable facial aesthetics. A common means of restoring the support of ageing-induced sunken cheeks is the use of cheek plumper. This case report describes an economical method of retention of cheek plumper using customised cast ball attachments and orthodontic separators. The modified prosthesis design did not negatively affect the retention of the prosthesis, resulting in a satisfactory resolution of the patient’s complaints.
