“…It is unclear whether this is linked with the perceived cost of PMCs; however, this has been reported as a potential barrier elsewhere in the literature. 3 Other barriers included lack of confidence in case selection (25.4%), lack of confidence in the technique (9%) and lack of senior support (9%). A small number of FDs (6%) denied any barriers to implementing the technique into their daily practice (Figure 10).…”

“…The results revealed that glass ionomer cement (GIC) was the preferred restoration for cavities affecting multiple surfaces and PMCs were seldom used. 3 This could be due to GIC's relative ease of use and reduced cost.…”

“…PMCs are generally perceived to be more expensive than conventional restorations, which could explain some practice's reluctance to stock them. 3 Within the NHS, the procurement of stock is usually determined by the practice's principal dentist or practice manager. Despite working in the NHS, FDs are funded by Health Education England, an organisation overseeing the training of the dental workforce.…”

Introduction The Hall technique is a biological caries management approach commonly used within the field of paediatric dentistry. The technique involves the placement of a preformed metal crown (PMC) without local anaesthetic, caries removal or tooth preparation. Despite being widely taught across dental schools in the United Kingdom, evidence from the literature suggests that PMCs are seldom used in general dental practice, even by newly qualified dentists. This study aimed to evaluate the experience and self‐reported confidence of Foundation Dentists (FDs) in the North West of England in the placement of preformed metal crowns using the Hall technique. Materials and Methods An anonymous questionnaire was distributed to 117 Foundation Dentists in the North West of England. Results Forty‐six questionnaires were returned, giving a response rate of 39%. The results revealed that 80.4% of FDs felt “somewhat,” “quite” or “extremely” confident with the Hall technique at the point of graduation. This increased to 85.3% upon completion of Dental Foundation Training. Conclusion Foundation Dentists' self‐reported confidence in the Hall technique was reasonably high both at the point of qualification and upon completing Dental Foundation Training. Nevertheless, many of the Foundation Dentists felt that they would benefit from further postgraduate training on the technique.

Introduction Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is an option for biologic caries management that is not well utilised in the United Kingdom (UK). Caries in the primary dentition is common in the UK, and despite current treatment options many children require invasive treatment and multiple extractions. SDF could provide an alternative and due to their clinical expertise paediatric dentists are well placed to discuss this. Methods Fourteen semi-structured interviews were carried out with paediatric dentists across the UK. This was a heterogeneous sample including working across different settings, with differing levels of experience and both academic and NHS primary employment. Thematic analysis was undertaken with respondent validation. Results Participants felt SDF could be useful where patients have caries in their primary dentition, are asymptomatic and cannot manage other treatment options. The five themes influencing their views were child factors, parental influence, external influences, the clinician’s knowledge, experience and beliefs and the properties of SDF. Conclusion Paediatric dentists interviewed feel that there is a role for SDF in caries management in the UK. They believe case selection and communication with families is important.
