Abstract

Aim: New treatment options have been developed as alternative post-retaining restorations and crowns that preserve remaining tooth tissue in endodontically treated teeth with excessive substance loss. This study, current treatment approaches newly graduated, intern and doctoral or specialist dentists in teeth excessive coronal destruction were evaluated.
Material and Method: This cross-sectional study, online questionnaire consisting of 22 questions, 3 parts was applied. First part consists of demographic information participants, second part consists of questions measuring awareness about preferred indirect restorations, last part consists of current treatment approaches newly graduated, intern and doctoral or specialist dentists. Total 234 voluntary participants questionnaires were evaluated. Obtained data were analyzed with IBM SPSS V23.
Results: In restoration of endodontically treated buccal mesial walls (least 2 mm thick) molars, participants all 3 groups preferred posterior adhesive indirect restorations according to their titles. Considering level of awareness, participants high group preferred posterior adhesive indirect restorations more in restorations endodontically treated buccal lingual walled molar teeth. Participants all 3 groups preferred use fiber under composite strengthen teeth in the restoration of teeth with excessive substance loss.
Conclusion: According to the results, it was determined that awareness and knowledge level of dentists who received specialty or doctoral training about new current treatments was higher than other newly graduated and intern dentists. It was observed that participants group with high level awareness mostly preferred posterior region indirect adhesive restorations such as endocrown and onlay.
