The Hall technique manipulates the plaque’s environment by sealing it into the tooth, separating it from the substrates it
would normally receive from the host’s diet. The plaque may continue to receive some nutrition from pulpal perfusion, but there is good evidence that if caries is effectively sealed from the oral environment, it does not progress. Continued…

Vertical impaction – 63%
Distoangular impaction – 25%
Mesioangular – 12%
Transverse, inverted or horizontal position are rare.
Vertical and distoangular impactions are easiest to remove whereas mesioangular impactions are most difficult
Classification:
Angulation and depth classification is same as mandibular third molars.
Classification in relation to third molar to the maxillary sinus floor.
Sinus approximation (SA) – no bone or a thin bony partition present between impacted maxillary third molar and the floor of the maxillary sinus.
No sinus approximation (NSA) – 2mm or more bone is present between the sinus floor and the impacted maxillary third molar.

The Hall technique is a novel method of managing carious primary molars by cementing preformed metal crowns, also known as stainless steel crowns, over them without local anaesthesia, caries removal or tooth preparation of any kind. Clinical trials have shown the technique to be effective, and acceptable to the majority of children, their parents and clinicians. The Hall technique is NOT, however, an easy, quick fix solution to the problem of the carious primary molar. For success, the Hall technique requires careful case selection, a high level of clinical skill, and excellent patient management. In addition, it must always be provided with a full and effective caries preventive programme. Continued…

Introduction
The removal of impacted mandibular third molars is a complicated surgical procedure involving soft tissue, muscle and the hardest bone in the skeleton.
History:
Prior to discovery of x-rays, surgeons removed only those teeth which can readily be examined clinically in the oral cavity.
John Tomes (1849) first to describe method of gaining access through a mucoperiosteal flap.
