Anxiety can generate a stressful and unpleasant experience for both patient and dentist, with the combination of anxiety, fear and pain, patients can have exacerbated expectations ideas of pain. There are several ways to try to control fear, anxiety and pain, such as integrative medicine, which fall under the category of mind-body therapy. Therefore, the objective of this literature review was to evaluate, through recent studies, the effectiveness of aromatherapy, music therapy and hypnosis techniques as a method of behavioral approach in the dental office, to help control pain, fears and anxieties, and bring the possibility of using the techniques. All articles found in the search carried out on PubMed were analyzed, and 32 articles were included in addition to 10 works selected on Google Scholar, totaling 42 articles in this literature review. Aromatherapy has shown that inhaling aromas has an anxiolytic effect and improves mood, and is one of the most used non-pharmacological approaches. Hypnotherapy works with the aim of taking the patient to an altered state of consciousness, becoming more relaxed and more receptive to treatment. The use of music has been very beneficial, as listening to music activates the autonomic nervous system, releasing epinephrine and norepinephrine from the adrenal medulla. Distraction techniques consist of diverting the patient's attention from what may be perceived as an unpleasant procedure. All the techniques presented, in the majority of studies found, resulted in pain relief and a reduction in the level of anxiety and relaxation, proving to be effective.
