Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of music therapy in reducing anxiety levels in children with special needs between 5 and 12 years of age during dental attention at the Ann Sullivan Center of Peru. Materials and methods: This is a quasi-experimental study. 40 patients were randomly divided in two groups: exposed and not exposed to music therapy. The level of anxiety was registered using the Facial Image Scale before and after clinical attention, the patient behavior during the attention was measured by the Frankl Scale, and the level of anxiety of the was measured by the Modified Corah Scale. Likewise, the vital functions of both groups were registered before and after dental attention and the differences were evaluated. Results: Statistically significant differences were found in both blood pressure values (systole, p = 0.000 and diastole, p = 0.007) and final heart rate (p = 0.001). The values of the final vital functions were minors in the exposed group in contrast to the unexposed group. Statistically significant differences were found between the levels of final anxiety in both groups, with a higher proportion of cases of anxiety levels in the unexposed group (p = 0.001). Conclusion: The use of music therapy is effective in the reduction of anxiety levels during dental atention in pacients with special needs.
