Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Background: Various behavioral and emotional reactions to dental care are seen in pediatric patients. As a result, pediatric dentists are deeply concerned with effective behavior coaching. The use of audiovisual stimuli at a certain frequency, which causes the brain impulses to adjust to the new frequency, is one such technique. For relaxation, verbal and working memory, multiple cognitive activities, and pain relief, audio beats have proven to be successful. The goal of this pilot study is to compare the impact of auditory beats on children who are worried during dental operations in terms of anxiety reduction. Materials and methods: ) were noted preoperatively and after the procedure was completed. Results: level, the experimental group's mean value increased significantly (6.8) compared to the control group's value (2.9). Conclusion: Audiovisual aids with binaural beat audio are a noninvasive therapeutic method that targets the brain centers to influence the psychological and physiological processes of the body. It is an effective anxiolytic modality that should be considered in pediatric dentistry. Clinical significance: The present article centers on the assessment of anxiety levels among pediatric patients. The study aims to provide insights into the mechanisms of anxiety in this specific population, with the ultimate goal of improving the quality of care and treatment options available.
