Decayed primary molars ART Hall technique
Brief summary
This trial seeks to evaluate the periodontal health of two modalities Hall Technique (by placing a stainless steel crown without caries removal, local anaesthesia won't be needed) & ART (by removing caries by sharp excavator and restoring the tooth with glass ionomer, local anaesthesia won't be needed either) to achieve better treatment for caries with pain-free procedures in developing countries that have high caries index and low income.
Interventions
PROCEDUREART
Caries excavation with hand instruments only and restoration with glass ionomer filling
PROCEDUREHall technique
Stainless steel crown placement without tooth preparation

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Periodontal health | initial, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months | While determining the plaque, the 4 surfaces of the teeth included in the study (mesial, distal, vestibule, lingual) using plaque index (0: no plaque, 2: thick visible plaque easily detected) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Gingival index | Initial, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months | While determining the plaque, the 4 surfaces of the teeth included in the study (mesial, distal, vestibule, lingual) (0= no swelling, 2= Moderate to severe gingival swelling, bleeding after air drying) |
| Postoperative pain and discomfort | Immediately postoperative | Immediately after the treatment, any pain and discomfort experienced by the child will be recorded using the Face Pain Scale - revised (FPS-R) (0= no pain, 10=worst) |
| Child behaviour | Intraoperative | Venham Anxiety Rating Scale (0= total cooperation, best possible working conditions, no crying or physical protest, 5= general protest, no cooperation, physical restraint is required) |
| Child anxiety | Intraoperative | Venham Anxiety Rating Scale (0= relaxed, smiling, willing, and able to converse, 5= loud crying unable to listen to verbal communication) |
| Canine overbite | Initial, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months | The canine overbite will be calculated before the preparation by measuring the distance between the incisal points of the maxillary canine on the same side of the mouth to the gingival zenith of the mandibular canine using a Boley Gauge |
