Completion of dental treatment · People (older than four years) classified as having gagging that interfered with dental treatment; included trials enrolled adults
It is very uncertain whether acupressure at P6 point with sea band plus sedation changes completion of dental procedure compared with sham (dummy) acupressure with sedation (very low certainty).
