A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing the Hall Technique (HT) vs. Conventional Technique (CT) for Placing Stainless Steel Crowns (SSCs) in Primary Molars With Approximal Caries
Objectives: 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.
Methods: 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 occluso-proximal caries lesions in primary molars.The study sample consists of primary care paediatric dental patients aged 3-9 years old, who have a primary molar with a dentinal occluso-proximal, cavitated or non cavitated carious lesion without any signs or symptoms of dental infection or irreversible pulpitis. The study will compare the clinical effectiveness of the Hall technique (HT) and conventional technique (CT) for placing SSCs in primary molars with approximal caries in terms of restoration survival and tooth survival. The functional outcomes including Occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) , the procedural time of the two techniques, the pain perception and cooperation of pediatric dental patients when using both techniques and the acceptability of the parents to the HT compared to the CT will be all evaluated.
Results: Rsults will be presented at a later time after data collection.
Conclusions: Conclusion will be presented at a later time after data collection.
