No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to compare the clinical/radiographic success of Hall technique and modified Hall technique in the treatment of primary molars with deep dentine carious lesions in children (3-12-year-old). The secondary aim is to examine the effect of marginal ridge breakdown level on treatment success.

Conditions

  • Dental Caries in Children
  • Tooth Diseases
  • Tooth Demineralization
  • Stomatognathic Diseases

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Hall Technique

* Only food scraps or debris will be removed from the caries cavity. * The smallest crown size will be selected that covers all cusps and approaches the contact points with a slight "springback" feel. * If the contact points are tight, orthodontic elastic separators will be placed through the contacts and the SSC will be placed at the second appointment 3-5 days later. * The SSC will be loaded with glass ionomer luting cement and placed evenly on the tooth. * The child will be asked to bite firmly until the crown is pushed down over the tooth. * If the child is unable or unwilling to bite down on the SSC, finger pressure will be used to seat the crown * The child will continue to bite on a cotton roll until the cement hardens * Excess glass ionomer cement will be removed from the crown margins with hand instruments and dental floss.

PROCEDURE

Modified Hall Technique

* Food scraps or debris will be cleaned from the caries cavity and infected soft carious dentin tissue will be excavated with hand instruments. * The smallest crown size will be selected that covers all cusps and approaches the contact points with a slight "springback" feel. * If the contact points are tight, orthodontic elastic separators will be placed through the contacts and the SSC will be placed at the second appointment 3-5 days later. * The SSC will be loaded with glass ionomer luting cement and placed evenly on the tooth. * The child will be asked to bite firmly until the crown is pushed down over the tooth. * If the child is unable or unwilling to bite down on the SSC, finger pressure will be used to seat the crown * The child will continue to bite on a cotton roll until the cement hardens * Excess glass ionomer cement will be removed from the crown margins with hand instruments and dental floss.
