Abstract

Objective: to assess and compare the possible post-operative pain between both Hall Technique and Formocresol Pulpotomy. Materials and Methods: Fifty-six primary molars with deep caries were divided into two groups: Study group: Hall technique was performed in which no caries removal was done, only soft food or debris was removed with the placement of SSC. Control group: FC pulpotomy was done. Postoperative pain was recorded for 10 days postoperatively. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between both groups regarding postoperative pain. Conclusion: HT is as effective as FC pulpotomy regarding the postoperative pain.
