Abstract Background: In pediatric dentistry, the common challenge for clinicians and parents is to allow children to experience dental treatment in an atmosphere created to empower the child and maximize their ability to cooperate with and accept treatment. Aim: the aim of this study was to evaluate the success rate of Hall technique and Indirect pulp capping for managing primary molars with deep carious lesions in a group of Egyptian children. Subjects and methods: A total sample size of 74 mandibular primary molars. Patients were randomly divided into 2 equal groups, group A (Hall Technique) and group B (Indirect pulp capping). Indirect pulp capping in the current study was performed then teeth were finally covered by preformed metal crowns. Clinical and radiographic assessments were performed at 3, 6 and 9 months postoperatively. Hall technique was performed, and clinical and radiographic assessments were performed at 3, 6 and 9 months postoperatively. Results: The results of the study showed insignificant difference between both groups regarding postoperative pain. On comparing the overall clinical success of the two groups at 3, 6 and 9 months group B (IPC) showed higher clinical success than group A (HT). However, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. While, when comparing the overall radiographic success between group A and group B at 3, 6 and 9 months; both showed 100% radiographic success with no difference between the two groups |
