Evaluation of Hall Technique and Atraumatic Restorative Treatment for Management of Caries in the Primary Dentition
Sponsor: Nourhan M.Aly
Summary
The aim of the present study is to evaluate both Hall technique and atraumatic restorative technique in comparison to the conventional restorative technique in the management of carious lesions in primary molars.

Interventions
Hall technique
* Orthodontic separators will be used to create space for fitting the stainless crown, then removed after 3-5 days * Occlusion will be measured assessing the patient's occlusal-vertical dimensions (OVD) using a modified version of van der Zee and van Amerongen method with a millimeter probe measuring the distance from the lowest point of the gingiva, around the lower canine on the vestibular side up to the point where the tip of the upper canine ends in order to assess the degree of overbite after mounting of the crown. * The correct crown size will be selected. The crown should cover all the cusps and approaches the contact points, with a slight feeling of "spring back." till reaching the gingival margin. Cementation will be done using glass ionomer cement
Atraumatic restorative treatment
Caries removal using excavators, then restoration using glass ionomer (GIC)
Conventional Stainless Steel Crown Restoration
Complete caries removal using high-speed hand piece, and an excavator to clear carious dentin from the pulpal wall. Then, stainless steel crown preparation, selection of the proper size with the smallest crown size that completely covers the preparation chosen. The correct occlusogingival crown length will be established. Cementation will be done using glass ionomer cement
