Innovative use of a Cheek Plumper in Prosthodontics: A Case Report

Age-related midface volume reduction poses cosmetic and functional issues for edentulous patients. Cheek plumpers, as an adjunct to traditional prostheses, provide a non-invasive way to restore facial contour and boost patient confidence. The use of cheek plumpers in complete denture rehabilitation is a cost-effective, minimally invasive alternative to surgical procedures, emphasizing their therapeutic value in elderly prosthodontics.

Abstract

Age-related midface volume reduction poses cosmetic and functional issues for edentulous patients. Cheek plumpers, as an adjunct to traditional prostheses, provide a non-invasive way to restore facial contour and boost patient confidence. The use of cheek plumpers in complete denture rehabilitation is a cost-effective, minimally invasive alternative to surgical procedures, emphasizing their therapeutic value in elderly prosthodontics.
