The Hall Technique


Welcome to this Dentaljuce course on the Hall Technique - a minimally interventive method for managing carious primary molars.

It involves the placement of stainless steel crowns over teeth with decay, without the need for local anaesthesia, tooth preparation, or removal of decayed tissue.

This technique relies on the principle of sealing caries and the causative bacteria under the crown, effectively halting the progression of decay.

Favoured for its simplicity and proven effectiveness, the Hall Technique is particularly beneficial for young patients who may experience anxiety or difficulty with traditional dental procedures. It represents a significant shift in paediatric dental care, emphasising patient comfort and preservation of tooth structure.

Learn when, why and how to use the technique with our detailed step-by-step guide.

If you're not yet a member of Dentaljuce, we highly recommend you to join and gain access to our comprehensive course on the Hall Technique.

This course, along with over 100 other CPD courses, is available for a single membership payment.
