This study aimed to evaluate the effects of music on anxiety, heart rate, and pain perception in children during fissure sealant application, and to compare the effectiveness of clinician-selected and patient-selected music. A total of 90 children aged 6-9 years were included in this split-mouth study. Each child received fissure sealant treatment on three permanent first molars under three different conditions: no music, clinician-selected music, and patient-selected music. Anxiety levels were assessed using the Facial Image Scale (FIS), heart rate was measured with a pulse oximeter, and pain perception was evaluated using the Wong-Baker Pain Scale. Measurements were recorded before and after each procedure. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests and repeated measures ANOVA with Bonferroni correction.

Exclusion Criteria:
Fissure sealant application performed without music.
Fissure sealant application performed while listening to researcher-selected classical music.
Other: Music intervention 1
Fissure sealant application performed while listening to music chosen by the patient.
Other: Music intervention 2
Participants listened to a standardized classical music piece (Pachelbel's Canon in D Major) played through a speaker for approximately 5 minutes during the procedure. The volume was kept constant.
Participants listened to their preferred music played through a speaker for approximately 5 minutes during the procedure. If the selected music was shorter than 5 minutes, it was replayed to standardize the duration. The volume was kept constant.
Anxiety Level
Anxiety levels of children were assessed using the Facial Image Scale before and after each intervention.The scale was scored by ranging from 1 (most positive emotion) to 5 (most negative emotion).
Time frame: Immediately before and after the procedure
Pulse Rate
The children's pulses were assessed before and after each intervention using a finger pulse oximeter.
Time frame: Immediately before and after the procedure
