Abstract
Three patients with severe gagging problems requiring mandibular molar extractions and who could not tolerate conventional block injections were successfully given closed-mouth mandibular block injections without provoking any retching. This technique permits patients to concentrate on clenching their teeth during the injection. This displacement activity, combined with the reduction in tactile sensation following anaesthesia, helps to prevent gagging.
