Abstract:
Endodontically treated tooth might weaken after procedure. To reinforce it, various methods are employed. This study was carried out to evaluate the attitude of Palestinian dentists toward the restoration of such teeth. Three hundred randomly chosen dentists were given an online questionnaire consisted of 18 questions. Results were deduced by Chi-square test with p-values as supplements. A total of 78.4% respondents believed that there is no need of the post as reinforcement. A total of 55.9% believed that it reinforces the tooth and decrease chances of fracture. Ferrule and prefabricated posts with core build-up were also preferred for restoration.
