A relatively common oral health problem, gag reflex is a clinical challenge during dentures fabrication. In the current literature several techniques have been described regarding this clinical condition. The latter use either psychological, pharmacological and prosthetic therapies to treat these patients. The purpose of this case report is to highlight an original prosthetic strategy which consists on a progressive lengthening of the maxillary complete prosthesis allowing a patient with acute gag reflex to adapt to the denture palatal extension.
