Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of personalized music playlists in reducing procedural anxiety among young dentists performing crown preparations for porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns.

A randomized controlled trial with a parallel-group design was conducted at the Department of Prosthodontics, School of Dentistry, Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Medical University, from April 12th, 2024, to October 11th, 2024. A total of 64 young dentists (20-30 years old) were randomly assigned to two groups: the experimental group (Group A), which listened to personalized music during the procedure, and the control group (Group B), which received no music. Anxiety was measured using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) before and after the procedure. Physiological parameters, including heart rate and respiratory rate, were also monitored. The preparation was evaluated based on a structured scoring rubric, assessing critical parameters. The scoring was conducted by two experienced prosthodontists who were blinded to the participant's group allocation. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 25.0.0, with a p-value of \<0.05 considered statistically significant.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group A

which listened to personalized music during the procedure

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Music intervention

Intervention Type OTHER

to evaluate the effectiveness of personalized music playlists in reducing procedural anxiety among young dentists performing crown preparations for porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns and to compare the crown preparation performance of students who listened to music with those who did not.

• Experimental Group:

o Participants in the experimental group were asked to use personalized music playlists during the procedure. These playlists were already available on their personal devices (e.g., smartphones) and reflected their individual music preferences. Participants selected music they found relaxing or enjoyable, ensuring the intervention was tailored to their unique tastes.

Group B

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
