Area of Science:

Medical research
Psychology
Music therapy

Background:

Music has demonstrated efficacy in managing anxiety during surgical procedures.
Non-pharmacological interventions are increasingly explored for patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the impact of baroque music (BM) and classical era music (CM) on anxiety and pain levels during dental implant surgery.
To assess music as a non-pharmacological therapy in a dental surgery context.

Main Methods:

A randomized controlled trial involving 26 patients undergoing dental implant surgery.
Patients were assigned to listen to BM, CM, or no music (control group).
Anxiety levels were measured using the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale and Visual Analog Scale; physiological variables were also monitored.

Main Results:

Both BM and CM significantly reduced pre- to post-surgery anxiety levels compared to the control group.
No statistically significant differences in perceived pain were found among the three groups.
Physiological variables like blood pressure and heart rate were analyzed but not detailed in the abstract's results summary.

Conclusions:

Listening to baroque and classical era music effectively reduces anxiety in patients undergoing dental implant placement surgery.
The integration of musical interventions is suggested for dental surgical practices.
