Outcomes of the Hall Technique and Conventional Pulp Therapy for the Management of Caries in Primary Molars

Egypt56 participantsStarted 2020-05-01

Plain-language 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 .
