Methods:  A total of sixty patients referred for periodontal surgery were randomized into two equal groups as i) without music (control), and ii) with music (test). Before and after the procedure, BP and HR were recorded. All patients responded to AL assessment using facial image scale (FIS) before and after surgery. After listening to music before and during the procedure BP, HR and AL were assessed for the test group. Results:  Systolic BP (SBP) in both groups increased but showed no statistically significant difference between the two groups (p>0.05). Diastolic BP (DBP) increased after treatment with no statistically significant difference (p>0.05) between test (4.70mmHg) and cont...
