No drill, No fill-A child friendly technique
Abstract
Everyone thinks that baby teeth don’t matter because they are going to fall out anyway. But neglecting baby teeth can
set a child up for lifelong dental trouble. It is difficult to manage children by using anesthesia, drilling and filling.
Hence a child friendly technique was developed which is called Hall technique. The Hall technique is a method
for managing carious primary molars where decay is sealed under preformed metal crowns (PMCs) without local
anesthesia, tooth preparation or any caries removal. Indications, contraindications, steps of preparation, advantages,
disadvantages and few studies are included in this study.
