Abstract :

INTRODUCTION: Dental anxiety is considered to be one of the main challenges faced by patients, which prevents them from receiving quality dental care. This study aims at compå the effect of music therapy and iatrosedation on dental anxiety in the same patient, using subjective and objective methods of evaluation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study is a clinical trial conducted on 25 subjects indicated for multiple quadrant extraction. Patients were given a questionnaire preoperatively and postoperatively along with recording their blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen saturation. Music therapy and iatrosedation were used to control the patients‘ anxiety. RESULTS: IBM SPSS Version 20.0 was used to analyze the results. There was a mean increase in systolic blood pressure and heart rate postoperatively after music therapy and iatrosedation. There was a mean decrease in diastolic blood pressure after using music therapy and iatrosedation and a mean increase in oxygen saturation in both cases. The subjective evaluation showed better patient satisfaction when music therapy was used. DISCUSSION: The increase in the systolic blood pressure and heart rate is attributed to the effect of adrenaline which was administered through local anaesthesia. The decrease in diastolic blood pressure was better in music therapy compared to iatrosedation and similarly, the increase in oxygen saturation was better in music therapy compared to iatrosedation. The subjective evaluation resulted in better patient satisfaction through music therapy, which concludes that music therapy plays a better role compared to iatrosedation in reducing patient dental anxiety during extraction.
