Description
Summary:The patient's state of health is significantly impacted by aesthetics. The face undergoes various changes as we age, including the loss of fat and muscle tonicity. The loss of teeth and these modifications accentuate the look of sunken cheeks. As a result, facial deformity may have an effect on a person's mental health, especially young people who are edentulous patients. Cheek plumpers and complete dentures (CDs) can be utilized to help these people recover or enhance aesthetics. The manufacturing of a CD with magnets is described in this case report.
