Abstract: Objective To systematically review the effect of Hall technique on treating caries of primary molars. Methods Weipu Database, China Biomedicine, Web of Science, Wanfang Database, The Cochrone library, CNKI, PubMed, Embase were electronically searched from inception to May 2021. After screening literature, quality assessment and data extraction, the final analysis was performed with RevMan 5.3 software. Results Fourteen RCTs were included, including 1 169 patients and 2 021 teeth. Results of Meta analysis showed that: the success rate of Hall technique in treating deciduous molar tooth caries was equivalent to that of traditional preformed crowns (P=0.52), which was more efficient than filling treatment (P<0.01). Treatment time of Hall technique was shorter than traditional preformed crowns (P<0.01), with no statistically significant difference from filling treatment (P=0.65), the facial pain of children treated with Hall technique was lighter than that of traditional preformed crowns (P<0.05), with no statistically significant difference from filling treatment (P=0.55). Compared with Hall technique, children were more coordinating with traditional pre-coronal treatment (P<0.01), which was not statistically different from filling therapy (P=0.79). Conclusion Existing evidence shows that Hall technology may be more effective in treating deciduous molar caries, and that doctors and children respond well to treatment. However, due to the limited number of included studies, the above conclusions need to be verified by more studies.
