ABSTRACT


Aim: To Evaluate The Success Rate Of Hall Technique And Indirect Pulp Capping For Managing Primary Molars With Deep Carious Lesions In A Group Of Egyptian Children. Subjects & Methods: A Total Sample Size Of 74 Mandibular Primary Molars. Patients Were Randomly Divided Into 2 Equal Groups, Group A (Hall Technique) And Group B (Indirect Pulp Capping). Indirect Pulp Capping In The Current Study Was Performed Then Teeth Were Finally Covered By Preformed Metal Crowns. Clinical And Radiographic Assessments Were Performed At 3, 6 And 9 Months Postoperatively. Hall Technique Was Performed, And Clinical And Radiographic Assessments Were Performed At 3, 6 And 9 Months Postoperatively.

Results: The Results Of The Study Showed Insignificant Difference Between Both Groups Regarding Postoperative Pain. On Comparing The Overall Clinical Success Of The Two Groups At 3, 6 And 9 Months Group B (IPC) Showed Higher Clinical Success Than Group A (HT). However, There Was No Statistically Significant Difference Between The Two Groups. While, When Comparing The Overall Radiographic Success Between Group A And Group B At 3, 6 And 9 Months; Both Showed 100% Radiographic Success With No Difference Between The Two Groups.

Conclusions: The Hall Technique Appears To Offer An Effective Treatment Option For Carious Primary Molars And It Is A Simplified Method And Considered Easier Than Conventional Restorative Treatment Of Carious Lesions. The Clinical And Radiographic Success Of The Hall Technique Is Comparable To Indirect Pulp Capping.
