TI  - The Use of Hypnosis to Prevent the Gag Reflex in Dentistry: Two Case Reports
AB  - In dental practice, gagging can become a severe problem, and various methods are used for treatment of this problem. In this study, hypnotherapy was applied to two patients to whom dental procedures could not be carried out due to gagging. The first case was one in which it was thought that the patient would be unable to use dentures due to gagging, and, after hypnotherapy, it was ensured that she was able to use her dentures without any problem. The second case was a hypnotic-resistant case, and the impression procedure was carried out only after hypnotherapeutic suggestion. Our study revealed that hypnosis can be used successfully in the treatment of a gagging problem that is observed during dental practices and cannot be overcome.
