ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at two different ways to treat cavities in children's back teeth, called primary molars. One method uses stainless steel crowns, which are known to last a long time, while the other method is called the Hall technique, which involves placing a crown without drilling. The goal is to see which treatment works better for children with cavities.

To be part of this study, children need to be between the ages of about 3 to 9 years and have at least two cavities that are more severe (graded 4) or one very severe cavity (graded 5 or 6) in their back teeth. Children with certain health problems, allergies to specific materials, or those who can't come back for follow-up visits won't be included. If a child joins the study, their parents will give consent, and they can expect to receive one of the two treatments being compared. This research aims to improve how we treat cavities in young children and help dentists make better choices in the future.
