Patients with hyperactive gag reflexes pose challenges when undergoing routine dental procedures, and this can create difficulties in their treatment. The subsequent issues that dentists face in executing the proposed treatment plan could hinder optimal patient care and reduce the overall success of the treatment. The clinician should be skilled in diagnosing as well as competent when managing the care of patients presenting with a hyperactive gag reflex. This paper discusses a technique utilizing telescopic copings and a long-span fixed partial denture as an alternative to fixed implant restoration on a patient with a pronounced gag reflex.
