Strategien zum Management von Patienten mit starkem Würgereflex

Viele Patienten leiden unter einem stark ausgeprägten Würgereflex, der für Betroffene beschämend und für Zahnärzte frustrierend ist – und unter Umständen eine erfolgreiche Behandlung sabotieren kann. Zahnärzte sollten sich deshalb Ätiologie und Schweregrad im spezifischen Fall genau ansehen, um das Problem gezielt analysieren und aus möglichen Behandlungsoptionen die geeignete(n) auswählen zu können.
