Abstract
Complete Dentures not only replace missing teeth but also improve facial esthetics. However, disfigurement
of face in the form of sunken cheeks is still a common clinical problem in edentulous patients which sometimes can’t be
improved with the help of dentures only. There are several surgical procedures available to correct this type of
disfigurement. This article reports an innovative, simple, effective and non-invasive treatment alternative to improve
facial appearance using detachable cheek-plumpers which are attached to the conventional complete denture, using
different attachments.
