Gagging is a normal physiological reflex action to restrict the entry of any foreign body through the oral cavity. Gagging is a physiological process, but sometimes it is precipitated by some other factors like while making impression of the dentulous or edentulous patient, patient may gag by the sensation of touch of impression tray or by the impression material, sometimes gag precipitates by just watching other person gagging during any dental procedure.
