| Summary: | <span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>The people generally tend to associate a dental practice with a strange clinical atmosphere and a range of strange looking </em><span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>instruments, and furthermore pain during dental treatments. This condition more or less raises an anxiety to the patient and affects </em><span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>the patient’s regular dental attendance. Since anxiety has a significant role to the perception of pain, many attempts to make the </em><span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>patients relax are therefore needed to be done. Along with the advanced era, the development of science and technology affects the </em><span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>world of dental practice. Dentists are encouraged to provide better dental services and treat their patients holistically. In order to </em><span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>fulfill this, additional facilities such as music are needed. It was found that patients who listened to the preferred music before, </em><span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>during, and after their dental treatment tended to have the lower rate of anxiety. This decreased anxiety was the result of greatly </em><span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>increased feelings of relaxation and calmness, since music could dramatically influence physiological and psychological processes. </em><span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>Music based on preference also provided most patients a non-threatening and pleasurable experience. Recently, music as part of </em><span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>dental practice has been widely used in America and Europe. This article is purposed to inform that music as an additional facility </em><span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>plays an important role in reducing the patient’s anxiety to provide better dental care and patient management.</em></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span> |
