Abstract
The Hall technique (HT) is a biologically based, effective option for treating asymptomatic
carious primary molars. This study reports on the baseline characteristics, and
histologic/radiographic outcomes of four molars treated with HT.
Materials and methods: for two physiologically exfoliated (a/b) and two extracted (c/d)
primary molars collected from different patients (age: 4-6 years, mean dmft 7±3.7), clinical
and radiographic baseline characteristics were retrieved from the patient charts. The
extracted teeth were examined using digital volume tomography (DVT) and histological
examination (HE, 1000 μm: depth of carious lesion, presence of dentin bridge [DB]).
Results: teeth (a/b) were maxillary first primary molars (54,64) with inactive dentin lesions
(ICDAS 5), no pain was reported. Baseline radiographic examination showed for both teeth a
clear dentin bridge (D2), and no signs of pathology. Physiological exfoliation took place 7-
years after HT. Both DVT and HE confirmed the presence of a DB.
Tooth (c) was a mandibular second primary molar (75) with an active dentin lesion (ICDAS
5), and no history of pain. Radiographically the lesion reached the middle of dentine (D2),
and a periodontal ligament slightly widened along the mesial root was noticed. 8-months
later the tooth was extracted with a submucosal abscess. Baseline radiographs and DVT
showed no clear DB; however, the HE showed the presence of a DB.
Tooth (d) was a maxillary second primary molar (65) presenting with an active dentin lesion
(D3; ICDAS 5). At baseline no pain or pathological radiographic findings were reported. 11-
months later the tooth was extracted with a submucosal abscess. Both DVT and HE showed
a deep lesion with pulpal involvement.
Conclusion: an accurate clinical, radiographic examination, and pain history are essential
for the success of the HT.
