Aim The aim of this study is to evaluate the upper restoration preferences of dentists in Turkey after performing root canal treatment with a questionnaire.
Material and method The survey questions consisted of demographic information, whether they performed root canal treatment regularly, whether they performed coronal restoration after root canal treatment, when they performed permanent coronal restorations, reasons for preference, in which cases they preferred extraction instead of root canal treatment, and the most frequently applied coronal restoration. The questionnaire was sent to the dentists electronically. Statistically, the data were analyzed with the Chi-square test. Significance was set to p<0.05.
Results 211 people participated in the survey. Most of the participants stated that they routinely performed root canal treatment, performed the coronal restoration immediately, and considered remaining amount of tissue in the selection of coronal restoration. For classes 1 to 3, resin-based composites were the most preferred, while post crown was the most preferred restoration in classes 4 and 5. Individuals without specialization were more likely to extract anterior and premolar teeth than those who specialized (p<0.05), those with over ten years of experience were more inclined to perform tooth extractions for all types of teeth than those with less than ten years of experience (p<0.05).
Conclusion The results of our study are useful in determining the missing aspects by evaluating the coronal restoration preferences of dentists after root canal treatment in Turkey. The use of indirect restorations is rare, but their use should be expanded.
