Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Turkish classical music, patient-selected music, and silence have an effect on psychological and physiological anxiety indicators during orthodontic bracket placement. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does Turkish classical music reduce anxiety levels in orthodontic patients undergoing bracket placement? Does patient-selected music reduce anxiety levels in orthodontic patients undergoing bracket placement? Researchers will compare two different music genres to a control (no music, silence) to see if music therapy works to lower anxiety. Participants will: Listen to Turkish classical music or patient-selected music or silence during orthodontic bracket application and complete 2 scales before and after the intervention.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in Anxiety Levels Measured by the Abeer Children Dental Anxiety Scale (ACDAS)Baseline (before bracket placement) and immediately after bracket placement (within 30 minutes after the intervention)The Abeer Children Dental Anxiety Scale (ACDAS) measures dental anxiety in children and adolescents. Scores range from 13 to 39, with higher scores indicating higher anxiety.
Change in State Anxiety Measured by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory - State Form (STAI-S)Baseline (before bracket placement) and immediately after bracket placement (within 30 minutes after the intervention)The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory State Form (STAI-S) assesses temporary state anxiety levels. Scores range from 20 to 80, with higher scores indicating higher anxiety.
Physiological Anxiety Indicators (Heart Rate, Blood Pressure, Body Temperature, Oxygen Saturation)Baseline (before bracket placement) and immediately after bracket placement (within 30 minutes after the intervention)Changes in heart rate (beats per minute), blood pressure (mmHg), body temperature (degrees celcius) and oxygen saturation (%) will be recorded as indicators of physiological anxiety.
