Introduction:To evaluate the effect of audioanalgesia in 6-to 12-year-old children during dental treatment procedure. Materials and methods:A total of 40 children were selected and divided into two groups, study group -with audioanalgesia and control group -without audioanalgesia. The value of their pain was evaluated using Venham's pain rating scale. Data were compared using one-sample t-test using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) (Inc.; Chicago, IL, USA), version 17.0. Results:The difference in the control group and study group was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Conclusion:The method of distraction using audioanalgesia instills better positive dental attitude in children and decreases their pain perception.Clinical significance: Playing or hearing music during dental procedure significantly alters the perception of pain in 6-to 12-year-old children.
