A cross-sectional survey to investigate the use of intra radicular posts in clinical practice was distributed to GDPs attending continuing professional development lectures and delegates of a specialist prosthodontic conference. Fifty-six (51%) GDP's and fifty-three (49%) conference delegates responded. Forty-five percent of GDP's exclusively used metal posts in comparison to 25% of the conference delegates. The findings of this study suggest there are no differences in the use of intra-radicular posts between GDPs and conference delegates. Formal post-graduate training does appear to have a limited influence over the selection of post materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
