Hypnosis as a Valuable Tool for Surgical Procedures in the Oral and Maxillofacial Area. Am J Clin Hypn. 2017 Apr;59(4):414-421 Authors: Montenegro G, Alves L, Zaninotto AL, Falcão DP, de Amorim RF Abstract Hypnosis is a valuable tool in the management of patients who undergo surgical procedures in the maxillofacial complex, particularly in reducing and eliminating pain during surgery and aiding patients who have dental fear and are allergic to anesthesia. This case report demonstrates the efficacy of hypnosis in mitigating anxiety, bleeding, and pain during dental surgery without anesthesia during implant placement of tooth 14, the upper left first molar.
