title: [Hypnosis and hypnotic phenomenon. Preliminary aid in cases of stress for the patient and dentist].
abstract: Dental treatment is often as stressful an experience for the dentist as it is for the patient. Some examples of hypnotic communication and hypnotic phenomena are given, and their value in dental practice discussed. With hypnosis, treatment is possible in a creative and relaxing way, and this reduces stress for dentist and patient alike.
