Abstract

Background: Although the behaviour of dentists and dental staff plays an important role in behaviour management of paediatric patients, there is evidence that different types of treatment might influence children’s behaviour and perceptions of dental treatment. For cariuos primary teeth, the ideal “child-friendly” therapy to manage the caries lesion without causing the child any stress, preserving pulpvitality, and guaranteeing that the treated tooth remains symptomless until it sheds naturally. Specific to primary teeth, which are becoming increasingly widely used, is the Hall technique. The purposes of this study to assess coopperative during restorative treatment for primary molar teeth in children following placement of preformed metal crowns using the Hall technique. Objectives: To evaluate children’s coopperation, when dentinal lesions (ICIDAS 4 – 5) in primary molars (4-8 year olds) were managed with Hall technique at The school of dentistry, Ha Noi Medical University and Duc Giang general hospital from July 2023 to April 2024. Materials and methods: This retrospective study evaluated  35 children’s coopperation (4-8 year olds) with dentinal lesions (ICIDAS 4-5) using Hall technique at three time points: pre treatment, during treatment, post treatment. Outcome: behaviour (Frankl scale). Results: Children showed more positive behaviour (48.6%), definitely positive behaviour (40.0%) than  negative behaviour (8.5%), definitely negative behaviour (2.9%) (p<0.01). There were no statistically significant differences in gender of their children’s behaviour during treatment. This study reported more coopperative  in post treatment (3±0.741) than in pre treatment (2±0.963) with p<0.01. Conclusions: Children reported more coopperative after treatment in comparision with before treatment. For gender, children’s cooperation were similar.
