Sealing caries in primary molars: randomized control trial, 5-year results.

The Hall Technique (HT) is a method for managing carious primary molars. Decay is sealed under pre-formed metal crowns without any caries removal, tooth preparation, or local anesthesia. The aim of this study was to compare HT clinical/radiographic failure rates with General Dental Practitioners' (GDPs) standard (control) restorations.

A comparison of inhalation sedation agents in the management of children receiving dental treatment: a randomized, controlled, cross-over pilot trial.

Aims: First, to compare the relative effectiveness of inhalation sedation using (A) nitrous oxide and oxygen with (B) nitrous oxide, sevoflurane, and oxygen in the management of children receiving dental extractions. Secondly, to determine patient and guardian preference between the two sedation techniques.

Materials And Methods: A randomized, controlled, double-blinded, cross-over, pilot clinical trial was undertaken.

Bond failure of gingivally offset mandibular premolar brackets: a randomized controlled clinical trial.

Introduction: The purpose of this randomized controlled clinical trial was to examine the clinical bond failure rate of gingivally offset mandibular premolar brackets and compare it with that of standard mandibular premolar brackets.

Methods: Eighty-three patients were enrolled in this trial. A total of 240 brackets--120 standard and 120 offset--were bonded in a split-mouth design.

The Hall Technique; a randomized controlled clinical trial of a novel method of managing carious primary molars in general dental practice: acceptability of the technique and outcomes at 23 months.

Background: Scotland has high levels of untreated dental caries in primary teeth. The Hall Technique is a simplified method of managing carious primary molars using preformed metal crowns (PMCs) cemented with no local anaesthesia, caries removal or tooth preparation. This study compared the acceptability of the Hall Technique for children, their carers, and dentists, and clinical outcomes for the technique, with conventional restorations.
