Aplicación de la técnica de Hall en molares hipomineralizados y lesiones de caries.

Abstract

Dental caries and molar incisor hypomineralization are pathologies that affect primary teeth and require treatments that can lead to serious issues for both the patient and the dentist, this is due to behavior management, the duration of the working time, the extent of damage and the dental preparation. Objective: To test the effectiveness of the Hall Technique in pediatric patients who may have hypomineralization and carious lesions in primary molars. Methods: For the search of articles that are included in the results of this bibliographic review, electronic database specialized in health sciences were used, such as: SciELO, PubMed and LILACS. Results: Out of the 293 crowns that met the inclusion criteria, 180 crowns returned for at least one follow-up. In the first follow-up 178 (98.9%) out of 180 placed using the Hall technique were clinically successful, and among those with available X-rays, 86 (98.9%) out of 87 had radiographic success. Conclusion: The application of the Hall technique for hipomineralized molars with severe carious lesions treatment is highly accepted in the analyzed studies and showed a higher long-term success rate compared to the preformed metallic crowns applied using conventional techniques, with a very low failure rate.
