IntroductionThe reflex of gaging and vomiting is an unpleasant feeling. Its purpose is to protect the upper respiratory tract and to remove foreign particles from posterior part of the oropharynx and upper gastrointestinal tract. Gag reflex could also be provoked by psychogenic stimuli modulated by higher brain centers. A common problem in clinical dental practice are patients with hypersensitivity in the oral cavity. Dental care could be a challenge for the dentists. Detailed anamnesis, clinical examination and gaging reflex management contribute to the appropriate approach in oral rehabilitation. AimThe aim of this study is to present different techniques for gaging and vomiting reflex management during prosthetic treatment Materials and Methods Detailed research in electronic databases Google scholar, Scopus, Pubmed and Research gate was conducted from September 2022 until December 2022. The keywords were: gag reflex, management, dentistry, removable partial denture. The literature was in English. ResultsA total of 542 articles were found during the literature review. In this study 39 original scientific papers meeting the criteria were included. Data and evidence for the importance of gaging reflex management were found in the reviewed articles. ConclusionThe gag reflex decreases the effectiveness of the prosthetic treatment. A number of methods for its management are described in the literature and in the practice. The application of some of them is limited by local or general contraindications. Others could be used after an additional training. Regardless of the methods that are chosen, the dentist must take into account the characteristics of each patient and apply an individual approach.

“…Due to some of the severe side effects associated with the use of some western medications, such as the birth deformities linked to thalidomide, there is currently a tendency toward the usage of these ancient methods. However, if administered incorrectly, plant-based medications can be just as harmful as synthetic drugs [2]. Acupuncture, the Alexander technique, aromatherapy, Ayurveda, biofeedback, chiropractic medicine, dietary therapy, herbalism, holistic nursing, homeopathy, hypnosis, massage therapy, meditation, naturopathy, nutritional therapy, osteopathic manipulative therapy, reflexology, Reiki, spiritual healing, TCM, yoga, and taking dietary supplements are all examples of CAM, according to the NCCAM.…”

The increasing influence of alternative therapies reflects shifting demands and attitudes in modern society in general. Concerns about the negative impacts and rising expenses of traditional health care are also fueling the hunt for alternatives. Acupuncture, acupressure, homeopathy, Ayurveda, and hypnosis are examples of therapy modalities. Alternative therapies, on the other hand, are currently recommended as a supplement to traditional treatment. Although their efficacy as a standalone therapy is debatable, when used in conjunction with conventional treatment, they can be a valuable addition to the general dentist's therapeutic arsenal. When mainstream medicine cannot give a proper treatment or simply offers symptomatic alleviation for chronic diseases, the patient's desire for alternative therapies rises. This was found to be true for common medical conditions such as back pain and asthma. Surprisingly, patients seek conventional medical practice treatments for dental or oral health issues more frequently in emergencies (i.e., tooth pain or dental decay, temporomandibular joint disorder, periodontal disease, or dry mouth). Cloves and tea tree oil are the two topical or oral herbal or natural products that dental patients utilize most frequently. Furthermore, people worried about getting dental work done may find great benefits from using mind-body techniques.
