Abstrakt: An elderly edentulous patient reporting to his/her dental treatment is a common occurrence these days. The loss of support of the facial musculature is of great concern to the patient and carries a great social stigma. This article focuses on proper support of the slumped oral musculature and cheeks in particular by incorporating cheek plumper and also demonstrates how denture esthetics can be achieved. The template for cheek plumper's was made by the use of cotton rolls placed in the maxillary and mandibular buccal flanges. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
