About this trial
After administering a questionnaire to collect demographic data (including gender, age, education level, and frequency of dental visits) and MDAS scores, patients with an MDAS score of 10 or higher, indicating moderate to high dental anxiety, will be randomly allocated into three groups (n = 25 per group). Standard restorative treatment will be performed on the selected patients under music therapy.
