Background/Purpose The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak has affected individuals worldwide. Considering the nature of dental treatments and direct exposure to saliva, blood, aerosols, or droplets from infected individuals, dentists are at significant risk of COVID-19 infection. Therefore, to decrease aerosol-generating procedures, minimally invasive dentistry (MID) is recommended during this pandemic. The goal of this research was to compare the flow of patients during a pandemic at a single university hospital in Jeddah City, Saudi Arabia, and to retrospectively assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on pediatric dental treatments including MID. Materials and Methods This study was a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of pediatric patient records, dental procedures performed, and minimally invasive techniques using the database of the King Abdul-Aziz University Dental Hospital (R4) system during the period of COVID 19 pandemic compared to the same period in the previous year. Results During the COVID-19 pandemic, pediatric dental patient flow included only 699 patients compared to 1151 patients during the same period in the previous year. The most common pediatric dental procedures performed during the pandemic period were simple restorative treatments, including fissure sealants, followed by dental extractions, and fluoride varnish applications. During the pandemic period, more minimally invasive treatments were performed, including the Hall technique, silver diamine fluoride, resin infiltration, and atraumatic restorative techniques. Conclusion Based on this data, the COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on dental patient flow and the type of dental procedures performed on children. Minimally invasive treatments that minimize air generation are recommended; however, to establish the long-term effectiveness of minimally invasive treatments in pediatric dentistry, more follow-up studies with bigger sample sizes are required. More recommendations regarding conservative pediatric dental management after the COVID-19 era are suggested.

“…One concern over the use of the HT is that the raised occlusion resulting from no occlusal reduction would lead to changes in muscle activity, temporomandibular joint dysfunction and masticatory difficulties post‐treatment. To address these concerns, bilateral masseter muscle activity on clenching measured with surface electromyography and bite force in children who had PMCs placed with the HT was evaluated 29,30 . There was increased muscle activity 29 and reduced bite force 30 immediately post‐treatment, but both measures returned to baseline levels by 1 month.…”

Background Preformed metal crowns (PMCs) have been used to restore carious primary molars and have a high success and survival rate. There are two methods currently employed for PMC placement ‐ the conventional technique (CT) and Hall technique (HT). Aim This systematic review aims to compare the outcomes of PMCs placed using the CT and HT. Design This systematic review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta‐analysis statement. A literature search of five databases was performed up to 23 August 2022. Clinical studies comparing carious primary molars restored with PMCs using either technique with a minimum 12‐month follow‐up were included. Risk of bias (RoB) assessment was performed using the National Institutes of Health Quality Assessment tool. Results Five articles met the inclusion criteria, and four were included for meta‐analysis. The 12‐ and 24‐month success and survival rates were above 85% for both groups, with no significant differences shown at 12 and 24 months. The HT requires a shorter treatment duration, is more cost‐effective and has a high level of acceptability among parents when compared to the CT. Four articles were rated fair, and one article was rated good in the RoB assessment. Conclusion Greater consideration may be given towards using the HT as part of standard treatment procedures in managing carious primary molars. Future studies should standardise reporting of outcomes to facilitate a more homogeneous pool of data for future meta‐analysis.

“…A recent pilot study investigated the effect of the Hall technique crown application on the masseter muscle activity. The study concluded that Hall technique crowns might affect masseter muscle activity in children immediately post-treatment, but the activity returned to and later exceeded baseline levels at 2-6 weeks, respectively, while the rest masseter muscle activity remained unchanged (Abu Serdaneh et al 2020). In addition, the HT was found to be more cost-effective than the conventional surgical method of treatment.…”

Purpose The first aim of this paper is to provide dental professionals caring for children and adolescents during and after the COVID-19 pandemic with a reference to international dental guidelines. The second aim is to suggest minimally invasive treatment alternatives for caries management, minimising the risk of viral cross-infection and offering a safer clinical environment. Methods An evidence-based pertinent literature search of different electronic databases was performed in addition to leading global dental authorities, royal colleges, and programmes. Results All guidelines released in response to COVID-19 centred around minimising Aerosol Generating Procedures (AGP) impacting the provision of regular dental treatment of paediatric patients. There was an emphasis on triaging and only treating emergency and urgent cases. Special attention was given to medically compromised children in the guidelines. Detailed guidelines for the dental environment and equipment were given. This paper also summarised the relevant evidence-based guidelines for the use of non-invasive and minimally invasive caries management techniques. Conclusion Specific recommendations for dental management of paediatric patients during and in the post-COVID-19 era are suggested. Minimisation of AGP procedures, and case-based selection of biological, non-invasive or minimally invasive methods are recommended.
