Laser Versus Silver Diamine Fluoride in Hall Technique in Primary Teeth

Summary

The hall technique for primary teeth depends on the idea of isolation of the carious non exposed primary tooth from all bacteria present in the oral cavity by using a stainless-steel crown which result in arresting of the caries and preventing its progress to the pulp. Recently laser and Silver Diamide Fluoride (SDF) have been used to arrest the progress of caries so in the current study we will compare the success rate of hall technique with either laser or SDF in arresting of caries
