- Abstract
The gag reflex is a normal involuntary defense mechanism that prevents foreign bodies from entering the trachea, pharynx or larynx. The patient who gags may present with a range of disruptive reaction, from simple contraction of palatal or circumoral musculature to spasm of the pharyngeal structures, accompanied by vomiting. Factors that are believed to be important in etiology are; Local and systemic disorders, Anatomic factors, Psychological factors, Iatrogenic factors. Management of gagging includes-Clinical techniques, Psychological technique, Surgical technique, and Pharmacological management.
