Abstract

Complete edentulism for longer period of time and aging causes flaccid of facial musculature which leads to sunken cheeks and unpleasing appearance of face. In order to get a supplemental support for the drooping cheek muscles, fabrication of conventional complete denture with adjunct detachable cheek plumpers are simple, acceptable non-invasive and economical. Despite the discussion of various attachment used for cheek plumper in literature each have their own disadvantages. The present clinical report demonstrated the use of chairside available lingual sheath and stainless steel wire for the attachment of cheek plumpers to the maxillary complete denture.
