To investigate attitudes of Greek dentists regarding the restoration of root canal treated (RCT) teeth and to compare them to recommended guidelines. Additionally, to examine relationships between degree of dentists' professional experience or region of practice location and attitudes of restoring RCT teeth.
Data were collected from 302 dentists using a structured self-administered questionnaire. For each dentist a score was assigned reflecting the level of compliance with scientific recommendations for restoration of RCT teeth.
89.4% of the respondents reported that not every RCT tooth requires a post while the 46.4% stated that a post reinforces it. 76.2% of the participants believed that the ferrule design provides a reinforcement to RCT teeth. Dentists with 6-20 years of experience showed a higher level of compliance with the principles in the literature than their colleagues with less or more years of practising. No significant difference was detected between dentists practising in urban and rural areas.
The majority of Greek dentists had knowledge in accordance with recommended guidelines, except the aspect of the reinforcement effect by the post. In contrast to the region of practice location, the degree of professional experience influenced the restoration of root-treated teeth.
调查希腊牙医对根管治疗（RCT）后牙齿修复的态度，并将其与推荐的指南进行比较。此外，还研究了牙医专业经验的程度或执业地点的区域与修复 RCT 牙齿的态度之间的关系。
使用结构化的自我管理问卷从 302 名牙医那里收集数据。为每位牙医分配一个分数，反映其对 RCT 牙齿修复的科学建议的遵守程度。
89.4%的受访者表示并非每颗 RCT 牙齿都需要桩核，而 46.4%的受访者表示桩核可以增强其稳定性。76.2%的参与者认为牙颈环设计为 RCT 牙齿提供了增强。具有 6-20 年经验的牙医比具有较少或更多年经验的同行更遵守文献中的原则。在城市和农村地区执业的牙医之间没有发现显著差异。
大多数希腊牙医的知识与推荐的指南相符，但在桩核增强效果方面除外。与执业地点的区域相比，专业经验的程度影响了根管治疗后牙齿的修复。
