Abstract
Facial esthetics is an integral part of dental treatment. Edentulous patient are increasingly demanding improvement in esthetics at the end of treatment. The edentulous state is associated with loss of teeth, resorbed alveolar ridge, reduced muscle tonicity, and hollow cheeks. Complete denture treatment includes not only the replacement of missing teeth but also the restoration of facial appearance. In individuals with marked resorption of the alveolar process, conventional dentures fail to provide adequate support; necessitating additional support for the cheeks. This can be done using cheek plumper or cheek lifting appliances. This article has described a simple, effective and non-invasive treatment alternative to improve facial appearance in a completely edentulous patient using undetachable light weighted hollow vaccum sheet formed plumper prosthesis.
