Developments in materials and techniques, geographical locations, age, specialty, and affiliations of dental practitioners affect the preference of post-endodontic restoration. Thus, this survey aimed to evaluate the trends of dentists in Turkey in terms of post-endodontic restorations. An anonymous survey containing 10 questions regarding demographics, post-endodontic restoration patterns, and factors affecting restoration selection was electronically delivered to the dentists registered in the database of the Turkish Dental Association. The data were analyzed using by a chi-square test and ordinal logistic regression analysis. A total of 1093 surveys from 20,564 participants were collected with a response rate of 5.3%. Half of the participants (52%) preferred composite resins for post-endodontic restorations. Usage of posts was less prevalent amongst prosthodontists and dentists with clinical experience of more than 20 years compared to endodontists ( < 0.001) and dentists with clinical experience of less than 5 years ( = 0.004). More than half of the participants (56%) utilized fiber posts. Composite resins and fiber posts were the most common preferences in post-endodontic restoration. Endodontists had a higher tendency to use posts than prosthodontists and general dental practitioners.
材料和技术的发展、地理位置、年龄、专业和牙医的从属关系都会影响根管治疗后的修复偏好。因此,本调查旨在评估土耳其牙医在根管治疗后修复方面的趋势。一项包含 10 个问题的匿名调查,涉及人口统计学、根管治疗后修复模式以及影响修复选择的因素,以电子方式发送给土耳其牙医协会数据库中注册的牙医。使用卡方检验和有序逻辑回归分析对数据进行分析。从 20564 名参与者中收集了 1093 份调查,回复率为 5.3%。一半的参与者(52%)更喜欢复合树脂作为根管治疗后的修复材料。与牙髓病医生和临床经验不足 5 年的牙医相比,修复科医生和临床经验超过 20 年的牙医使用桩核的情况较少(<0.001)和(=0.004)。超过一半的参与者(56%)使用纤维桩。复合树脂和纤维桩是根管治疗后修复的最常见选择。牙髓病医生比修复科医生和普通牙科医生更倾向于使用桩核。
