Dental anxiety is a common problem encountered in the dental clinics that affect both patients and dentists. Adequate management of the dental anxiety is critical for optimal treatment outcomes of the patient.~This study aims to assess the efficacy of different anxiety reduction techniques (Iatrosedation and music therapy) in adult patients for dental crown preparations.~In this clinical trial, a total of sixty patients were randomly assigned to three groups as follows: Group 1, Iatrosedation, Group 2, Music Therapy, and Group 3, Control. Patients in all of the three groups underwent dental crown preparation. To measure the anxiety levels of the patients, heart rate was measured using a pulse oximeter, and verbal rating scale scores were assessed. One-way ANOVA, Post hoc, and Spearman's correlation was used to compare the mean values of the three groups.
