The Hall Technique – a minimally invasive, anxiety reducing method of managing dental caries in primary molars
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The method, known as the Hall Technique (HT) involves sealing early caries in primary molars with no tooth cutting, no removal of caries, and no local anaesthesia. That is “no needle "and "no drill”. A preformed metal crown (PMC), also referred to as a stainless steel crown, is cemented directly over caries that does not extend radiographically beyond the middle third of dentine. The sealing of the tooth in this way prevents the carious lesion from progressing by isolating the bacteria and starving it of oxygen, simple carbohydrates, and an acidic environment. All of which are required for the proliferation of cariogenic bacteria and progression of the carious lesion within the tooth. The Hall Technique is set to revolutionise children's dentistry.

BACKGROUND Scotland has high levels of untreated dental caries in primary teeth. The Hall Technique is a simplified method of managing carious primary molars using preformed metal crowns (PMCs) cemented with no local anaesthesia, caries removal or tooth preparation. This study compared the acceptability of the Hall Technique for children, their carers, and dentists, and clinical outcomes for th...

Introduction: Dental caries is the most common chronic condition in children. Recently, there has been a growing tendency to using digital panoramic radiography among clinicians. The present study aimed to determine the accuracy of digital panoramic radiography with and without software enhancement in the diagnosis of proximal dental caries in primary molars. Methods: This study was conducted u...
متن کاملEvaluation of Diagnodent Accuracy in Detecting Approximal Caries in Primary Molars
Introduction: Detection of caries lesions on approximal surfaces of posterior teeth is difficult, since wide contact points hamper direct visual inspection. Due to the importance of the early detection of dental caries, the aim of this study is to compare the performance of different methods (visual, bitewing radiography and DIAGNOdent) in detecting approximal caries in primary molars. Methods:...
