Abstract

As a Prosthodontist to treat patients with complete denture prosthesis, that replaces missing teeth is a skillful job. A successful prosthesis requires a balance between different factors and must fulfill the criteria- of being in harmony with the surrounding oral environment and orofacial musculature and preservation of remaining structures and restores masticatory efficiency. Muscle action influences the fabrication of denture at every step beginning from primary impression; border molding - final impression and jaw relations to teeth setting and finally successful retention, stability, and comfortable wearing of denture. A properly constructed denture
helps the muscle to function in its physiological limit and maintain tonicity. They are active during mastication, deglutition, and speech. Has a direct or indirect influence on the peripheral extensions, shape, and thickness
of denture bases, the position of the teeth both horizontally and vertically, and facial appearance. Hence, in this review role of the facial muscle is presented here.
