Official title
The Major Failures of Hall Technique Versus Atraumatic Restorative Technique in the Management of Carious Primary Molars: Randomized Clinical Trial
Overview
This study is designed to compare major failure rate between ART ( excavation of caries with hand instruments and placing glass ionomer restoration without the use of rotary instruments) versus hall technique ( placing a stainless steel crown on the decayed primary molar without prepartion or caries removal)
Interventions
- Procedure Atraumatic Restorative Treatment
Caries excavation with hand instruments only and restoration with Glass ionomer filling - Procedure Hall technique
Crown placement without tooth preparation
Primary outcome measures
- Major failure [Time frame: 1 year follow up]
Secondary outcome measures (4)
- Canine overbite [Time frame: 3 months, 6 months and 1 year follow up]
- Postoperative pain and discomfort [Time frame: Immediately postoperative]
- Child anxiety [Time frame: Intraoperative]
- Child behavior [Time frame: Intraoperative]
Eligibility criteria

- Primary molars with vital pulp.
- Class II Caries in primary molars within enamel/dentin.
- Molars in occlusion with the antagonist tooth/teeth.
- Teeth with no developmental anomalies.
- Absence of spontaneous pain and tenderness to percussion.
- Absence of any radiolucency in furcation and/or periradicular regions.
- No pathological and internal/external resorption.
Exclusion criteria
