The high frequency of caries in primary teeth and its inadequate treatment are major public health problems during childhood. Nowadays, the Hall technique is one of the methods used for biological sealing in carious lesions in primary molars. Thus, the bacteria will be sealed from oral environment and the caries will be inactive. The objective of this article was to provide an updated search on the Hall technique description, indication, contraindication, advantages, concerns, success and failure, cost-effectiveness, acceptability, and preference in pediatric dentistry, and to compare the Hall technique with traditional crown preparation and conventional treatment options for carious primary molars. A discussion of the recently published articles on the Hall technique reveals that the Hall technique is considered a promising restorative option with high acceptability and longevity; with low failure rate for managing carious primary molars compared to conventional treatment modalities used in primary care settings. Furthermore, the survival rate of stainless steel crowns (SSCs) is considered high, whether provided using Hall technique or traditional preparation by a pediatric dentist. Thus, the Hall technique can be an effective addition to the clinician's range of treatment options for carious primary molars. However, it should be chosen in restricted cases.
乳牙龋齿高发及其治疗不充分是儿童期的主要公共卫生问题。如今，霍尔技术是用于乳牙龋损生物封闭的方法之一。这样，细菌将被与口腔环境隔绝，龋齿将不再发展。本文的目的是对霍尔技术在儿童牙科中的描述、适应证、禁忌证、优点、问题、成功与失败、成本效益、可接受性和偏好进行更新搜索，并将霍尔技术与传统牙冠制备以及乳牙龋齿的传统治疗方法进行比较。对最近发表的关于霍尔技术的文章进行讨论后发现，霍尔技术被认为是一种有前景的修复选择，具有较高的可接受性和持久性；与初级保健环境中使用的传统治疗方式相比，治疗乳牙龋齿的失败率较低。此外，无论儿科牙医是采用霍尔技术还是传统制备方法，不锈钢冠（SSC）的存留率都被认为较高。因此，霍尔技术可以有效地增加临床医生对乳牙龋齿的治疗选择范围。然而，应在有限的病例中选用该技术。
