Ever since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, dental professionals everywhere have been looking to use non-aerosol generating procedures wherever possible. In pediatric dentistry, there is one well recognized non-AGP for stainless steel crowns. It’s called the Hall Technique.
“This is a valid non-AGP technique,” says Dr. Pani, “but it comes with a word of warning: the technique is dependent on your clinical judgement.”

It’s this technique done with or without local anesthesia?
This was a very good presentation. I have been doing SSCs for a long time. Never heard this one!
