- Brief Summary
Results: Twenty three subjects returned for follow up. There was no statistically significant difference (p-value > 0.05) between the conventional SSC restoration and the Hall technique for both the primary outcomes/major failures (irreversible pulpitis, dental abscess, peri-radicular radiolucency and crown loss with tooth unrestorable) and secondary outcomes/minor failures (crown loss and tooth restorable, crown perforation, secondary/marginal caries and reversible pulpitis). But, there was a statistical significant difference in the average time taken for the placement of the restorations between the two groups (p-value 0.001).

Subjects with pair(s) of unrestored carious primary molars at high risk of dental caries were included. Study teeth were matched for tooth type, dental arch, and extent of caries which showed enamel or dentine caries on bitewing radiographs. Study teeth were symptomless, with no clinical or radiographic signs of pulpal pathology on bitewing radiographs.
Subjects who did not give consent/assent or were unwilling to participate in the study, those with chronic medical conditions e.g. leukemia, sickle cell disease, those with teeth that were mobile, symptomatic, abscessed or teeth tender to percussion and those with teeth with radiographic signs of pulpal pathology on bitewing radiographs were excluded from the study.
