Abstract

Aim: This Study aims to assess gingival health after treatment with Hall Technique Versus Silver Diamine Fluoride in the management of carious primary molars. Materials and methods: Thirty primary molars were randomly allocated into two equal groups (n=15). Group I was treated using 38% Silver Diamine Fluoride and Group II was treated with Hall technique.Gingival health was assessed using a modified gingival index Results: The result showed better gingival health in SDF after three months with a median MGI 0 range (0-1) compared to the median 1 range (0-2) in the HT group. Furthermore, SDF has better gingival health at six months with a median MGI 0 range (0-1) in SDF compared to 1 range (0-1) in HT. Conclusions: SDF showed better gingival health than HT at three months follow up; after six months, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups.
