Abstract

Although the stainless steel crowns have been recognized as the most effective and durable form of restoration for primary molars, they have been regarded by many dentists as having definite demerits such as invasive nature of procedural complexity and behavioral aspects of children. As an alternative to conventional technique of stainless steel crown restoration, the Hall technique was first introduced in 1988, which is characterized by just pushing the pre-contoured, cement filled crown form onto the abutment molar with no local anesthesia, no caries removal, no tooth preparation. According to several reports, this can slow, arrest, or even reverse the progress of caries. In addition, its atraumatic feature gives less discomfort and stress to children than conventional one, which is thought excellent especially in younger children. Also, It has been reported to be effective and acceptable to dentist, child patients and their parents. In this case study, three children with age of 4 years 5 months, 4 years 10 months, 6 years 4 months were treated with stainless steel crowns using Hall technique on first primary molar respectively. The teeth were free from pulpal, periapical pathology. After follow up of about 3 to 6 months period, the results showed clinically successful outcomes without any marked complication in pulp, tooth or soft tissue till now. But, it should be kept in mind that this technique is not proper to every child, every carious molar, or every dentist. Thorough distinction of indicated cases and continuous follow-up check is highly required. Conclusively, Hall technique might be an effective and realistic minimally invasive alternative for the carious primary molars especially in younger or disabled children, despite potential doubts on its efficacy and some definite limitations.

비록 기성 금속관 수복이 유구치 수복 시 가장 효과적이고 내구성 있는 방법으로 인지되어 왔지만, 그것은 치과의사들에게 있어서 복합한 시술이 가지는 침습적 특징과 행동 조절 문제와 같은 명확한 단점을 가지고 있다. 전통적인 기성 금속관 수복 방법에 대한 대안으로 1988년 Hall technique이 소개되었는데, 이것은 국소마취, 우식제거, 치아삭제 없이 지대치위에 시멘트가 채워진 금속관을 합착하는 것으로 특징지어진다. 몇몇 보고들에 따르면, 그 비외상적인 특성은 전통적인 수복보다 어린이에게, 특히 저연령 어린이에게 더 적은 불편감과 스트레스를 준다. 또한 Hall technique은 치과의사, 어린이, 그리고 부모에게 효과적이고 받아들일 만 하다고 보고되어 왔다. 이 증례에서, 4세 5개월, 4세 10개월, 6세 4개월의 어린이 3명의 제1유구치를 Hall technique을 이용하여 기성 금속관 수복을 시행하였다. 3~6개월간의 정기검진 후 현재까지 치수, 치아, 또는 연조직에 명확한 합병증 없이 임상적으로 성공적인 결과를 보여주고 있다. 그러나, Hall technique이 모든 어린이, 우식 유구치, 또는 치과의사에게 적합하지는 않다는 것을 유념하고, 적응증의 엄격한 선택과 지속적인 정기 검진이 요구된다. 결론적으로, Hall technique은 효능에 대한 잠재적인 의구심과 일부 명확한 제한점에도 불구하고 특히 저연령 어린이나 장애 어린이의 우식 유구치 수복 방법에서 효과적이고 현실적인 최소침습적 대안이 될 수 있다.
