Abstract
The manner in which endodontically treated teeth are restored influenc es tooth longevity and the cost of treatment. This article describes a study of how surveyed general dentists restored endodonitcally treate d teeth and whether their methods were consistent with those suggested in the literature. Some patterns of restoration did reflect the liter ature's recommendations, but overall the findings call into question s ome of the ways in which post-endodontic restorative care is carried o ut.
