Brief Summary: This study aims to assess the comparative effectiveness of the Hall technique HT and the conventional technique CT for placing Stainless Steel Crowns SSCs in primary molars with approximal caries
Detailed Description: Background The most common chronic disease in children and adolescents 6-19 years old is dental caries The conventional approach of carious lesions treatment involves cavity preparation with rotary instruments restoration with composite resin amalgam or stainless-steel crowns SSCs

Retrospective studies showed that SSCs have a better success rate compared to amalgam or resin-based restorations when used for multi-surface caries in primary teeth Hence the American Academy of Paediatric Dentistry AAPD recommended the use of SSCs as the treatment of choice for carious lesions of more than one surface in high-risk children

Recently the Hall technique HT has been used for sealing caries in primary molars The contemporary technique was first introduced in the literature in 2006 by Dr Norna Hall while she was working in a high caries-risk area in rural Scotland The technique has straightforward biological principles where the most important layer for the caries progression in the biofilm which is the superficial plaque layer is left and sealed along with the carious lesion Consequently a less cariogenic flora will be composed in the plaque biofilm thus arresting or slowing down the caries progression in primary teeth The Hall technique HT involves cementing SSC on carious primary teeth without using rotary instruments nor local anaesthesia thus eliminating discomfort and increasing childs behaviour

Aim This study aims to assess the comparative effectiveness of the Hall technique HT and the conventional technique CT for placing Stainless Steel Crowns SSCs in primary molars with approximal caries

MethodsDesign

The study will compare between the hall technique HT and the conventional restoration CR using stainless steel crowns SSCs in terms of technique acceptability parents childrens behavior and the perception of pain Approximal dental caries ICDAS 3-5 in primary molars of children 3-9 years old will be managed by two treatment techniques conventional restorations CR using stainless steel crowns SSCs and the hall technique HT

The study will be a binary outcome non-inferiority randomized trial with treatment provided in a primary care dental clinic setting The study protocol will be written following Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials CONSORT guidelines for randomized trials of non-pharmacologic treatment Participants will be allocated randomly to be treated with SSCs placed with conventional technique CT control group or the HT experimental group in order to compare different options for arresting occlusal-proximal caries lesions in primary molars

Discussion The clinical trial seeks to provide evidence on whether Hall technique demonstrate comparable or superior clinical outcomes compared to conventional restorations in terms of childrens pain perception and cooperation in dental setting and parents acceptability as well
