Summary

This study looked at whether children who take regular piano lessons feel less anxious and stressed during a routine dental visit. Eighty children aged 7 to 11 took part—40 who played piano and 40 who did not. All kids received a standard preventive treatment (fissure sealants) while researchers measured their anxiety using special scales and physical signs like pulse and blood pressure. The goal was to see if musical training helps children stay calmer in the dentist's chair.
