Dental caries, also known as tooth decay, it can occur in primary teeth in early childhood, is formed through interaction between acid-producing bacteria and carbohydrate. The caries develops in both the crowns and roots of teeth. Progress of caries depended on the lifestyle of the child (as high numbers of cariogenic bacteria, inadequate salivary flow, insufficient fluoride exposure and poor oral hygiene). To avoid this disease should follow the proper oral hygiene and improve lifestyle 1. A lot of methods found to treatment the decayed tooth - like; Hall technique and Silver diamine fluoride. The first report on the Hall Technique published in 2007 by a general dental practitioner from Aberdeen/Scotland, Dr. Norna Hall. Dr. Hall used PMCs to restore carious primary molars rather than using the standard technique, placed them using a simplified method2. Previous studies have recommended that Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) solution would exert a preventive result in managing early childhood caries ECC. However, no well-designed clinical trials have yet been performed to study the effect of SDF on caries prevention. the objective is useful in arresting early childhood caries (ECC) 3

post-operative pain
Face Pain Scale Revised Immediately after the treatment, any pain and discomfort experienced by the child were recorded using the Faces Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R). Each child was asked to mark the face that reflected her or his experienced pain during the treatment. The endpoints were labeled 'no pain' and 'very much pain'. The FPS-R faces were scored as 0-2-4-6-8-10.
Time frame: at 2 days
