The effects of music listening during extraction of the impacted mandibular third molar on the autonomic nervous system and psychological state

Pain, anxiety, and nervousness related to dental procedures can cause acute changes in the autonomic nervous system. Music is widely accepted as a relaxation method during dental treatment; however, its effects during dental treatment are unclear. We explored the effects of music listening during extraction of the impacted mandibular third molar on the autonomic nervous system and the psychological state, and hypothesized that music listening would suppress sympathetic nervous activity and reduce anxiety.
