IMPROVING MICROESTHETICS IN AN EDENTULOUS PATIENT WITH CHEEK PLUMPERS: A LITERATURE REVIEW AND CASE SERIES
Main Article Content
Abstract
This case series explores two successful cases of implementation of a magnet-retained hollow cheek plumper prosthesis in the rehabilitation of a patient with sunken cheeks. The clinical evaluation, treatment planning, and prosthetic fabrication methods are discussed, accompanied by a thorough review of the existing literature on cheek plumper prostheses. The literature review encompasses historical perspectives, advancements in materials and techniques, and outcomes reported in similar cases. This combined approach provides a holistic understanding of the clinical efficacy and scientific basis underlying the utilization of cheek plumper prostheses in prosthodontic practice.
