Abstract:
Hall crowns are a simple technique used in paediatric dentistry to treat restorable caries in primary molars in patients who are unwilling to accept conventional restorations. The use of Hall crowns has increased significantly due to the acceptance of the technique, and it is now commonly taught to dental undergraduates in the UK. Separator placement for Hall crowns can be difficult and may sometimes prevent Hall crowns from being utilised. This article describes the advantages and disadvantages of using rubber dam clamp forceps for the placement of separators for Hall crowns in comparison to other well-known methods.
