“…Thereafter, the pressure is relieved, air is sucked in creating a negative pressure, and the next cycle starts. 22 In the present case, the sunken cheek appearance was managed by providing adequate cheek support with functionally molded detachable cheek plumper prosthesis, which not only provides the patient with the freedom to wear it whenever required but also allows ease in placement of the prosthesis.…”

Salivary reservoir in maxillary denture offers an effective, non-invasive approach in the treatment of edentulous patients afflicted with xerostomia. It is always desirable to have large volume reservoir in order to decrease the inconvenience of repeated refilling, however, increased bulk of palatal reservoir often leads to discomfort in speech, swallowing and acceptance of such prosthesis. In designing of size and shape of reservoir in the present case, large volume was achieved utilizing circular palatal resorption area, and proper shape was ensured by duplication of functional palatal contour. Adequate voluntary wetting of mouth was effected by “swallowing control saliva release” mechanism of the flexible reservoir lid. Sunken cheek appearance was addressed by using an easy, economical, and effective method of detachable cheek plumpers.
