Facial aesthetics are crucial in dental care. A new detachable plumper prosthesis offers a simple, noninvasive solution to improve facial appearance in edentulous patients with hollow cheeks.

Area of Science:

Dental Prosthodontics
Facial Esthetics
Biomaterials

Background:

Facial aesthetics are increasingly important in complete dental prostheses.
Hollow cheeks in edentulous patients can negatively impact perceived age and appearance.
Traditional prosthetic rehabilitation often focuses solely on tooth replacement, neglecting soft tissue support.

Observation:

Edentulous patients frequently exhibit facial volume loss, leading to sunken cheeks.
A slumped facial appearance can result in a prematurely aged look.
Patient demand for improved esthetic outcomes in prosthetic dentistry is rising.

Findings:

A novel detachable plumper prosthesis utilizing customized attachments can effectively address hollow cheeks.
This noninvasive approach offers a simple and effective method to enhance facial appearance.

Keywords:
