Anxiety can be an interference factor in promoting oral health for children with high levels of anxiety tend to have negative behavior at the dentist. High oxygen levels and heart and respiratory frequencies are associated with high levels of anxiety. The objective of this study was to test the use of music in decreased cardiac and respiratory frequency of treated patients listening to music and being treated without hearing music.

  3 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Composite measure of Cardiac and respiratory frequencies using a pulse oximeter

  6 months

Study Arms (1)

music

EXPERIMENTAL

The Mozart Symphony No 40 in G minor K550 was played in headphones. While the child received restorative treatment in the teeth she heard music in a session and was subjected to other dental treatment session without listening to music. The cardiac and respiratory frequencies were measured with children's finger oximeter while the child listened to music and also in session in which she did not hear music. Changes in the measurements obtained by the oximeter showed levels of anxiety.

Behavioral: Music

Interventions

This cross over trial aimed to analyze the use of music as a distraction resource during children dental treatment, evaluating their cardiac and respiratory frequency. Thirty-four children took part in this study, 16 boys and 18 girls, from 4 to 6 years old, with no previous dental experience, who had two carious lesions on occlusal surfaces of molars,
