Abstract

The primary goal of post-endodontic therapy restoration is to maintain regular operations, occlusion, and stability of the dental arch. Endodontically treated teeth requiring treatment are becoming more common, and a variety of post-endodontic restorative materials are available. The present study sought to determine the practices and knowledge concepts of dental professionals in Riyadh regarding restorations that come after endodontic treatment. An online survey was used to conduct this cross-sectional study among dental practitioners in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Social media was used to reach 374 dentists, including general practitioners and specialists/consultants, who were part of the present study. In addition to questions on knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding the restoration of endodontically treated teeth, an online survey was created that asked about personal, professional, and demographic data. 47.1% of respondents said they preferred ceramic crowns, 50.5% said they preferred fiber-reinforced prefabricated posts, and 43.3% said they preferred tapered, smooth prefabricated posts. The participating dentists were assessed to have an acceptable overall level of knowledge and practice.
