Aerosol reduction in pediatric dental care using the Hall Technique: A Systematic Review
Keywords:
Hall technique, child, dental caries, metal dental crownAbstract
Objective: To determine the effectiveness and survival of primary teeth treated with metal crowns installed using the Hall technique (HT).
Materials and methods: A bibliographic search was carried out using the DeCS terms: "Dental Caries, Hall technique, Crown and Child" in the PubMed / MEDLINE and Scopus databases. Articles published in the last 5 years were included, with no language restriction, with study subjects between 0-13 years of age, without underlying pathologies or malocclusions.
Results: 111 articles were obtained, of which 48 corresponded to duplicates, 1 had no access to the full text, and 50 articles did not refer to the variables considered in the study. Finally, 12 studies were selected, of which 6 corresponded to clinical trials, 4 were cohort studies. Among these, 2 were retrospective and 2 prospective, 1 was a systematic review, and 1 monograph. Deep carious lesions treated with preformed metal crowns using HT had a higher survival rate and success than conventional techniques.
Conclusion: The Hall technique appears to be a minimally invasive, effective, and long-lasting caries management option, besides being a more economical procedure and well received by patients.
