Summary

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of music on anxiety, heart rate, and pain perception in children during fissure sealant application, and to compare the effectiveness of clinician-selected and patient-selected music. A total of 90 children aged 6-9 years were included in this split-mouth study. Each child received fissure sealant treatment on three permanent first molars under three different conditions: no music, clinician-selected music, and patient-selected music. Anxiety levels were assessed using the Facial Image Scale (FIS), heart rate was measured with a pulse oximeter, and pain perception was evaluated using the Wong-Baker Pain Scale. Measurements were recorded before and after each procedure. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests and repeated measures ANOVA with Bonferroni correction.
