Abstract:
Visco-anaesthetic medication has been used for controlling the gagging sensation in 35 dental patients during intra-oral radiography and impression making. The drug was satisfactory in 29 patients and failed to control the gagging reflex in 6 patients. A direct relation between loss of oral sensation and control of gag reflex has been established.
