Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 287002 0
Percentage of failure at 12 months

Failure classified into major and minor failure

Abscess or irreversible pulpitis in the tooth with the Hall's crown will be classified as a 'Major failure', whilst 'minor failures' would be: caries at the margin of the crown, crown worn through, crown lost, first permanent molar impacting and separator placed.
A 'Successful' outcome is a tooth with a Hall crown that has neither a 'Major' or 'Minor' failure.
The assessment will be through both clinical and radiographic assessment
