Along with function, aesthetics plays an important role in treating partially or completely edentulous patients. Ageing, trauma, tooth loss and neuromuscular disorders have a high impact on tonicity of facial musculature, elasticity of skin as well as function of muscles. Patients affected with Bell's palsy face functional, aesthetic as well as psychological impairment. Common problems are the partial closure of upper eyelid, sagging of lower eyelid and drooping of angle of mouth leading to facial asymmetry, along with difficulty in eating, drinking and speaking. The key to aesthetic restoration is to support and harmonize the collapsed facial musculature with the help of various prosthodontic treatment approaches. This case report attempts to focus on treating completely edentulous patient affected with Bell's palsy with special prosthesis supporting angle of mouth and lower eyelid using novel technique.
除功能外，美学在治疗部分或完全无牙患者中也起着重要作用。衰老、创伤、牙齿缺失和神经肌肉疾病对面部肌肉张力、皮肤弹性以及肌肉功能有很大影响。患有贝尔面瘫的患者会面临功能、美学以及心理方面的损害。常见问题包括上眼睑部分闭合、下眼睑下垂和口角下垂导致面部不对称，以及进食、饮水和说话困难。美学修复的关键是借助各种修复治疗方法来支撑和协调塌陷的面部肌肉组织。本病例报告旨在聚焦于使用新技术，通过特殊的支撑口角和下眼睑的假体来治疗患有贝尔面瘫的完全无牙患者。
