Summary

Based on the changing understanding of carious biofilm development and caries progression, Sealing carious dentine beneath a restoration deprives the caries biofilm of nutrients and alters the environment sufficiently to slow or arrest lesion progression. This has the added benefit of avoiding pulp exposure and subsequent treatment .The evidence base supporting the biological approaches which include Hall technique has been steadily increasing in the last few years. This has given rise to a growing trend towards a biological approach by Paediatric dentists and has led to an increasing concern about the merits of conventional approach in treatment of carious primary molars .

Conditions

  • Deep Caries
  • Pulpitis - Reversible

Interventions

OTHER

Hall Technique

The Hall technique is a simplified method of utilizing stainless steel crowns in treatment of carious primary molars. The SSC is cemented onto the carious tooth using glass ionomer cement. Since there is no need for carious lesion removal, the use of local anesthesia is not mandate

OTHER

Formecresol Pulpotomy

Pulpotomy is a procedure in which the coronal pulp is amputated, and the remaining radicular pulp tissue is treated with a medicament to preserve the pulp's health .This technique involves administration of local analgesia, Isolation of the tooth with rubber dam, Complete caries removal and then access to the pulp chamber using drills
