Acoustic parameters used in dental hypnosis practices

Abstract

Abstract Dental hypnosis has been reported in many journals as a science since James Braid used hypnosis term in his publication in 18th century. Recent research supports the view that hypnotic communication and suggestions effectively changes aspects of the person’s physiological and neurological functions and can enhance the efficacy of various treatment interventions in dentistry. So, the dental hypnosis is truly science not a black magic. The acoustic parameter expression is a tool consisted of three parameters that are duration, pitch and intensity that is used to measure how effective the special sentences/phrases can bring the people consciousness state to unconsciousness state by giving some suggestion. It works by modifying people mind to change their fear of dental treatment for example, to be a contrary condition.
