Conventional approach of crown placement is a better option for pediatricdentist, where Hall technique may be appropriate for general dental practitioner or by a pediatric dentist in the case of special circumstances. Since cement retention is very critical, GIC is preferred over zinc phosphate luting cement because of its adhesive and anticariogenic properties.
