Aim: The purpose of the present questionnaire-based survey was to evaluate the predominant opinion and knowledge of endodontists in chennai on fiber-reinforced posts. Background: Numerous studies have confirmed that the prognosis of an endodontically treated tooth does not depend exclusively on endodontic procedures, but is essentially influenced by the postendodontic restoration. The prognosis is dependent upon several factors which include substance loss, tooth type, choice of post and core build-up material, length and precision of fit of the endodontic post and luting medium. In comparison to metal post , Fiber-reinforced composite posts (FRC) are being increasingly used as it provides improved esthetics, potential to reinforce compromised tooth structure, modulus of elasticity similar to dentin, increased tensile strength and fracture resistance.
