Evaluation of Hall Technique and Atraumatic Restorative Treatment for Management of Caries in the Primary Dentition

The presence of a satisfactory crown will be checked. Loss of the crown, perforated crown or restoration fracture are considered failures.

Scoring of the restoration between 0-9. 0: Present, satisfactory. 1: Present, slight deficiency at cavity margin of less than 0.5 mm. 2: Present, slight deficiency at cavity margin of 0.5 mm or more. 3: Present, fracture in restoration. 4: Present, fracture in tooth. 5: Present, overextension of approximal margin of 0.5 mm or more. 6: Not present, most or all of restoration missing. 7: Not present, other restorative treatment performed. 8: Not present, tooth is not present. 9: Unable to diagnose. Success scores are 0 and 1, while failure scores are 2-8.

ART restorations, Hall technique and conventional restorations will be scored as satisfactory will be considered "successful," while those presented minor and/or major failures will be considered as "failed."

Digital postoperative periapical radiographs will be obtained using a paralleling device to allow for exact and reproducible alignment of the dental film and the X-ray tube at the different follow up intervals. Teeth will be considered radiographically successful if they showed no evidence of radicular radiolucency, internal or external root resorption or periodontal ligament space widening

The patient's perception of the treatment was assessed by using a faces scale modified to represent satisfaction, indifference, or dissatisfaction . A few minutes will be spent before each procedure to establish rapport with the child and to obtain some notion of the child's understanding of the meaning of those schematic facial expressions. After treatment, the child will be instructed to choose the face that best represented how he/she felt during the procedure.

using plaque index of Sillness and Loe. 0: No plaque. 1: A film of plaque adhering to the free gingival margin and adjacent area of the tooth. The plaque may be seen in situ only after application of disclosing solution or by using the probe on the tooth surface. 2: Moderate accumulation of soft deposits within the gingival pocket, or the tooth and gingival margin which can be seen by the naked eye. 3: Abundance of soft matter within the gingival pocket and/or on the tooth and gingival margin.
