Anxiety effect evaluation of relaxing music applied in complex wisdom teeth extraction

Objective To evaluate the curative effect of relaxing music applied in complex wisdom teeth extraction.Methods A total of 200 patients with complex wisdom teeth were selected and divided into A,B groups,relaxing music was applied in group A 30 minutes before and during teeth extraction,while group B underwent teeth extraction directly.Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were selected as the measuring tools of anxiety and pain intensity.Parameters including blood pressure (BP),heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR) were measured before relaxing music application and after.Results After informed their disease condition,the score of BAI of group A and B was (52.18 ± 10.75),(52.41 ± 14.08),respectively,and no significant difference was found (t =0.13,P ＞ 0.05).While 30 minutes after they listened to relaxing music,the score of BAI of group A and B was (38.24 ±6.59) and (54.12 ±9.95),and group A was better than group B,and the difference was statistically significant (t =13.31,P ＜ 0.05).After the operation,the score of VAS in group A was significantly better than that in group B [(1.96 ± 0.84) vs (3.42 ±0.91) ;t=11.79,P＜0.05)].Conclusions Relaxing music could effectively relieve the anxiety and uncomfortable from complex wisdom teeth extraction.
