Abstract :
Denture esthetics has been defined as the embellishing effect produced by a dental prosthesis which affects the desirable beauty, attractiveness, character, and dignity of the individual. There is more to esthetics than just tooth selection. Proper positioning and support of the facial musculature, especially the orbicularis oris muscle, contribute greatly to the cosmetic effect of the dentures. Ageing leads to the high impact on external facial aesthetics due to early tooth loss, alveolar resorption and reduced tonicity of musculature.1 The key to aesthetic replacement to all these losses is to support and harmonize the collapsed lower third of the face with the upper part with the help of various treatment modalities.
