The role of facial skeletal augmentation and dental restoration in facial rejuvenation

J W Bains et al. Aesthetic Plast Surg. 1994 Summer.

Abstract

Facial aging is almost exclusively a result of soft tissue changes in patients with full dentition. Loss of teeth can hasten facial aging and make aging more pronounced as a result of bony erosion of the alveolar ridges. This article describes these changes and demonstrates that properly selected oral implants and precisely placed hydroxyapatite implants can integrate with facelifts to produce superior facial rejuvenation in edentulous patients.
