Brief Summary

As a newly introduced technique for caries management in primary teeth, patient-centered outcomes such as parental satisfaction, acceptability of the treatment and child discomfort needs to be investigated about Hall technique. Therefore , the aim of our study is to investigate parental and patient satisfaction of Hall technique in managing carious primary molars in children.

Conditions
