Facial Esthetic correction Using cheek Plumper and cross-Arch Occlusion concept in Skeletal class III complete Denture Patient—A case report

Esthetic factor not only confined to teeth but also to be considered for facial appearance.Facial esthetic may be compromised due to lack of support from the internal structures i.e teeth, ridge, muscles etc. This results in slumped or hollow cheek proving detrimental to facial esthetics. Cheek plumper help to enhance facial appearance by supporting the slumped cheeks.Variance of arch form and arch size in the same mouth may be due to continuous resorption of the maxilla and the mandible. Also varying degrees of closure of the jaw,alter the ridge relations. These alterations in ridge relations may cause a unilateral or bilateral “cross bite” relation inthe posterior segments of the arch. This complicates the denture fabrication in conventional manner.The purpose of this case report is to present a simple technique for correction of facial esthetics using cheek plumer and bilateral cross arch occlusion concept.
