Abstract

Currently, music is a part the list of nonpharmacological alternative therapies. Literature is reviewed to see the effects of music therapy on human health in general, and oral health in particular. The main effect is the reduction of anxiety and stress in patients who, taking different conventional treatments, received music as therapy. The benefits on children are described, prior to dental consultation and in orthodontic treatments. Positive results were also registered on cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy or palliative treatments, children with Specific Language Disorders and people who experience anxiety, depression and somatization.
