Modified Hall Technique for Discolored Molars in Children
Part of Injuries & trauma, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a quick, less invasive method to treat permanent back teeth that have white or brown spots and weak enamel (a condition called MIH). The treatment involves placing a special metal cap on the tooth. The research tracks how this affects how the teeth bite together over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests the Hall Technique, a way to place stainless steel crowns on baby molars without numbing or drilling. It looks at how the crown affects your child's bite, and may help kids with cavities in back baby teeth who can cooperate for treatment.
This trial compares two ways of removing tooth decay in children with a condition called MIH (which makes enamel weak and spotted). It tests whether selective or non-selective drilling works better for deep cavities, aiming to save the tooth and keep the nerve healthy.
This trial compares two methods for treating cavities on the sides of baby back teeth: a new injectable bioactive material versus the Hall Technique (a metal crown method). The study will help dentists understand which approach works better for children.
This study looks at how satisfied parents are with the Hall technique, which uses a metal crown to treat cavities in baby back teeth. It aims to see if parents find this method acceptable and effective without causing pain to their child.
This study compares two ways to fix cavities in children's permanent back molars: a special 'Hall' crown that is placed without numbing or drilling, versus a traditional crown. It aims to see which one works better and is more comfortable for kids.
This study compares two ways to treat decayed baby molars in children ages 5–8: the Hall Technique (a newer method) and traditional stainless-steel crowns. Researchers will measure which method works better, reduces anxiety, takes less time, and costs less.
