Radiographic status of periapex of endodontically treated teeth restored with direct or indirect restoration
Dr. Syed Manzoor ul haq Bukhari, Dr. Geethanjali Puttappa

Purpose: Endodontic procedure leads to weakening of tooth structure. To restore the natural form of coronal tooth structure two basic techniques are used that is direct and indirect technique. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare choice of posterior restorative material on the outcome of root canal treatment radiographically. Material and method: radiographic and clinical examination of 188 posterior mandibular molars was performed, the quality of treatment and periapical status was observed. Results: there was even distribution between left (48.2%) and right (51.8%) mandibular molar. A significantly higher survival rate of indirect restoration p<0.001 was observed as compared to direct restoration. Conclusion: No significant correlation was found between coronal restoration and PAI score between indirect and direct coronal. Key words: coronal restoration, direct restoration, indirect restoration
