Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
A pilot trial was conducted at Dundee Dental School (DDS) in 2013 to find the best and most reproducible method to measure the change in VD after HTPMC placement. It compared 4 different approaches: direct clinical measurement; clinical photographs; direct measurement of stone study models and digital subtraction of 3D models, showing that the most reliable method to measure the differences in VD was the digital subtraction of 3D models. This method could detect whether the occlusion returned to its pre-crown state regarding the overbite and also gave an indication of appropriate follow-up timeframe to evaluate this resolution.
These are preliminary results and the pilot study was designed to guide future research. There were no previous reliable data regarding the evaluation of VD and its effects when this pilot study was conducted. A random sample size was selected to give insight to build a future power calculation for future studies. The investigators would like to continue this pilot work and carry out a full study recruiting children that are assigned to receive a HTPMC during routine appointments in the DDS.
By understanding where occlusal compensation occurs in the mouth following placement of a HTPMC, and how long this takes to occur, more accurate information can be given to parents on what to expect following treatment, supporting joint treatment planning and decision making regarding the dental care of the child. In addition, where more than one crown is required, treatment planning can be timed more precisely to ensure future treatment is carried out at the optimal time.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
There will be no interventions or invasive procedures as part of this study. As an additional procedure, specific to this study (not included in the standard care), participants will have dental impressions taken to compare pre and post HTPMC placement (right after the treatment and at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks follow-up) state of their mouths. Dental impressions are a routine procedure that children regularly undergo for orthodontic treatment or to make mouth guards for sports.
Children having a HTPMC fitted would not have a dental impression taken before and after the HTPMC placement or at subsequent appointments as part of standard care.
Since the aim is to track the changes that happen in children's mouth, the investigators are going to use these extra procedures of taking dental impressions to analyse digitally (by making a 3D scan of the stone study models). This will allow us to see how long it takes for the children's vertical dimension to come back to its pre-treatment state and what the changes are that happen in their mouth after the placement of a HTPMC.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Upper primary first molar
Children already treatment planned to have a Hall Technique crown placed to manage primary molars carious lesions will have dental impressions taken before the crown placement, immediately after and at 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks follow-up.
Dental impressions
Children will be included in this study if they already are treatment planned to receive a Hall Technique preformed metal crown (HTPMC) to manage carious lesions in primary molars. They will have a dental impression taken before and after the HTPMC placement to find out what happens with their bite after the treatment.
The dental impressions will be cast up into stone study models so that we can track the changes that happens in children's bites after placing the HTPMC (as it increases the height of children's bite when placed) and let them know what to expect after this procedure and as part of this study, additional follow-ups will be required 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks after the HTPMC placement to allow us to track the changes in the bite at regular intervals to see when the child's bite returns to its pre-treatment state.
Lower primary first molar
Children already treatment planned to have a Hall Technique crown placed to manage primary molars carious lesions will have dental impressions taken before the crown placement, immediately after and at 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks follow-up.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* children who are eligible to receive a HTPMC to manage primary molars carious lesions;
* children who have not had a HTPMC fitted within the last 6 weeks;
* children who understand what is involved in the study and have signed and given assent to participate;
* children that can cooperate with dental care including having a dental impression taken; and
* children whose parents are willing and able to attend the follow-up appointments 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks after the treatment.
Exclusion Criteria
* children who have self-reported occlusal parafunctional habits (e.g. bruxism, constantly open mouths).
Individuals will not be enrolled to the study if they are participating in the clinical phase of another interventional trial/study or have done so within the last 30 days. Individuals who are participating in the follow-up phase of another interventional trial/study, or who are enrolled in an observational study, will be co-enrolled where the Chief Investigators of each study agree that it is appropriate.
