It is important to identify the characteristics of both the airconducted and the bone-conducted dental drilling sounds in order to reduce the unpleasant feeling during treatment. We have reported that high-frequency components in the air-conducted dental drilling sound have a great effect on the unpleasant impression in our former studies. In this study, the psychological evaluation of the bone-conducted dental drilling sounds via teeth with and without air-conducted sound from the ear was examined in order to find psychoacoustics effect of masker. As the results, some difference was found in the psychological evaluation between bone-conducted sounds alone, and air-conducted plus boneconducted sounds.", }
