Binaural beats, an auditory brainwave entrainment technique with demonstrated anxiolytic effects in medical contexts, have emerged as a promising nonpharmacological approach but remain underexplored in dental surgery. This study evaluates the efficacy of binaural beats in alleviating anxiety among patients undergoing periodontal flap surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Fifty chronic periodontitis patients requiring periodontal flap surgery with moderate-to-high preoperative anxiety scores were randomly allocated to a test group (binaural beat exposure) or a control group (no auditory intervention). The test group listened to binaural beats for 30 min (10 min preoperatively + 20 min intraoperatively) using stereo headphones. Anxiety was assessed using the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and physiological stress markers such as systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and heart rate (HR) were recorded in both groups at the preoperative and postoperative stages.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Binaural beat exposure significantly reduced anxiety and physiological stress markers (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.0001).
