Background:
Proper treatment of carious primary teeth is of
particular importance in order to prevent oral infections. This
is also because primary teeth play a very important role in
proper mastication and in maintaining space in the arch for
the permanent teeth. Pediatric aesthetic dental procedures
are often done for reconstructive or cosmetic purposes. The
Hall technique is a conservative alternative treatment for
carious primary molars developed by Dr. Norna Hall in the
1980s.
Aim:
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the
effectiveness of acrylic crown to restore carious maxillary
primary incisor, following the Hall technique guide, with
clinical follow-ups carried out after 3, 6 and 12 months.
Material & Methods:
Ten healthy children aged 2–4 years
of both genders, with extensive carious maxillary incisors
were involved in this study. Acrylic crown was performed to
restore carious incisor without caries removal. Instructions
on oral hygiene and appliancture of the crowns were not
reported in the cases recorded during any of the recall visits.
Retention of the crowns was observed to be good in 100%
(N=10) of the cases during the 3, 6 and 12 months follow-up,
whereas only 10% of the cases showed poor retention at the
6 months follow-up, that needed re-cementing. Based on
the statistical analysis, parental satisfaction was observed to
have significantly increased with the progression of time for
all the considered parameters.
Conclusion:
The study leads to the conclusion that the
simple technique of aesthetically restoring the carious
primary maxillary incisors allows it to be used in daily clinical
practice with a higher rate of success and satisfaction to the
child and parent.
