Abstract

Individually, the existence of a labial undercut, retained natural teeth or a hyper-gag reaction causes considerable difficulty in rehabilitating a patient. However, all three, as seen in this case report, provide a challenge to Prosthodontists' in terms of not just prosthesis fabrication but also meeting the patients' expectations. This case report demonstrates a comprehensive approach to managing with this very challenging scenario.
