Time of Treatment in HALL Technique Vs ART
- Conditions
- Healthy

- Procedure: Atraumatic Restorative TreatmentProcedure: Hall technique
- Registration Number
- NCT06594770
- Lead Sponsor
- Cairo University
- Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the time of treatment of Hall Technique versus Atraumatic Restorative Technique in the management of carious primary molars. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does the Hall Technique provide a faster and pain-free treatment compared to ART?
* How do the outcomes of both techniques impact children's acceptance and behavior? Researchers will compare the Hall Technique, which uses preformed metal crowns without caries removal, to Atraumatic Restorative Treatment, which uses hand instruments to selectively remove carious tissue.
Participants will:
* Receive treatment using either the Hall Technique or ART in a single session.
* Attend follow-up visits to monitor the effectiveness and acceptance of the treatment.
* Complete assessments on their experience and comfort during and after the procedure.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method time of treatment during the procedure Time will be measured from the start of the procedure till its end using digital chronometer as a device and minutes as a unit.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Postoperative Pain and discomfort immediately after the procedure , 3month ,6 month and 12 month Immediately after the treatment, any pain and discomfort experienced by the child will be recorded using the Face Pain Scale - revised (FPS-R), which has six numbered faces from 0 to10 The (FPS-R). Each child will be asked to mark the face that reflects her or his experienced pain during the treatment. There is no pain visible on this face \[indicating the face on the far left\]. As you move from left to right, the faces get progressively more painful until you reach this one, which is incredibly painful \[indicating the face on the far right\]. The (FPS-R) faces will be scored as 0-2-4-6-8-10.
Child behavior during the procedure At the end of the treatment session, the dentist classifies the child's behavior during the treatment according to Venham Behavior Rating Scale is a reliable system for rating behavior of children in the dental setting. ratings will be scored as 0-1-2-3-4-5
Canine overbite: HT preoperatively , immediately after the procedure , 3 month , 6 month, 12 month the canine overbite will be measured only for the hall technique group. The canine overbite will be measured before the procedure using a Boley Gauge, either on the same side or the opposite side if the canine is missing. After assessing tooth shape and occlusion, a stainless-steel crown (SSC) will be partially seated on the tooth with glass ionomer cement. The child will bite on a cotton roll to fully seat the crown, after which excess cement will be removed, and the overbite will be recorded immediately after treatment.
Child anxiety during the procedure At the end of the treatment session, the dentist classifies the child's anxiety during the treatment according to Venham Anxiety Rating Scale is a reliable system for rating anxiety of children in the dental setting. ratings will be scored as 0-1-2-3-4-5
