Brief summary
Stainless steel crowns have shown high success in restoring carious primary molars over a longer period of time than conventional restorations. This study aims to evaluate the treatment effectiveness of conventional SSCs restoration and Hall technique in treating carious primary molars
Interventions
PROCEDUREPlacement of stainless steel crowns on primary molars
Preformed metal crowns have been placed to treat caries in primary molars

Inclusion criteria
1. Agree and voluntarily participate in the research (with the patient's parent/guardian consent for participation) 2. Children have a primary molar with at least 2 carious lesions corresponding to International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) scores 4 or at least 1 carious lesion corresponding to ICDAS scores 5 and 6.
Exclusion criteria

Children are undergoing orthodontic treatment with fixed or removable appliances.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Failure of stainless steel crowns | 3 months | Level 1 failures was considered when there were any signs of failure related to SSCs. Level 2 failures was considered when there were any signs of related pulpal and periapical pathology. Success was considered when Level 1 and 2 failures were absent. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Occlusal contact | 0 months | Occlusal contact was assessed as follows: normal occlusion or rised occlusion. |
| Periodontal health | 0 months | * Plaque index 0 = No plaque in the gingival area. 1. = A film of plaque adhering to the free gingival margin and adjacent area of the tooth. The plaque may only be recognized by running a probe across the tooth surface. 2. = Moderate accumulation of soft deposits within the gingival pocket, on the gingival margin and/or adjacent tooth surface, which can be seen by the naked eye. 3. = Abundance of soft matter within the gingival pocket and/or on the gingival margin and adjacent tooth surface. * Gingival index 0 = Normal gingiva 1. = Mild inflammation - slight change in color, slight oedema. No bleeding on probing 2. = Moderate inflammation-redness, oedema and glazing. Bleeding on probing 3. = Severe inflammation - marked redness and oedema. Ulceration. Tendency to spontaneous bleeding. |
