Résumé
The loss of teeth, associated with sunken lips and cheeks, has a debilitating psychological effect on a person. It is essential for clinicians to incorporate facial esthetics into their treatment plan for complete denture patients in order to improve the patients' confidence and quality of life. Cheek plumpers ensure adequate support to facial muscles, which, in turn, minimizes the appearance of wrinkles, lines, and sagging over time. This case report describes the fabrication of detachable cheek plumpers using magnets to enhance the facial esthetics of a completely edentulous patient. Magnet-retained cheek plumpers, being small and lightweight, allow ease of placement and cleaning without the addition of weight to the prosthesis.
