A 7-year-old child undergoes Hall Technique crown placement over a primary molar with established dentinal caries. Six months later, radiographic assessment shows the lesion has not progressed. Which principle best accounts for this outcome?

Select the correct answer

A. Occlusion of the lesion from the oral environment eliminates fermentable substrate availability, selecting against acidogenic bacteria and favouring a less pathogenic microbiome within the residual carious dentine.

B. The stainless steel crown exerts bactericidal pressure directly on residual carious bacteria through metal ion release, sterilising the dentine over time.

C. Crown placement stimulates tertiary dentine formation beneath the lesion, physically walling off the bacteria and preventing further demineralisation.

D. The cement used in Hall Technique placement has sustained antimicrobial properties that diffuse into carious dentine and suppress bacterial metabolism indefinitely.

E. Sealing the carious dentine raises the local pH within the lesion, directly neutralising bacterial acid production and remineralising the affected tissue.
