Section 4 - Management options for primary caries / 4.5 Video & Article: The Hall Technique & Pulp Treatment
Hall Technique and Pulp Treatment are two effective methods of preserving primary teeth with decay.
Hall Technique
The Hall Technique is a non-invasive treatment for decayed primary molar teeth. Decay is sealed under preformed crowns, with no need for injections or drilling which may result in dental anxiety.

The table below indicates the correct method for varying severities.
