“…The present analysis is consistent with a prior study conducted in Saudi Arabia, which found that the favored material for endocrown was lithium disilicate [18,22]. The study conducted by Wahab et al investigated the material preferences for endocrown among dentists in Jordan, and their findings aligned with the previously described research [16].…”

“…The primary aim of employing the endocrown approach is to preserve the pre-existing tooth structure that can be utilized for bonding purposes, while simultaneously guaranteeing the biomechanical stability of teeth that have undergone endodontic treatment and may possess reduced structural integrity. The endocrown has been demonstrated to have enhanced mechanical qualities, leading to minimal tooth structure loss, reduced clinical interventions, decreased costs, and enhanced cosmetic results [15][16][17][18][19][20]. Therefore, the objective of this cross-sectional study was to assess the level of knowledge and opinions of dental practitioners on the utilization of endocrown as a s a postendodontic treatment technique.…”

Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate the knowledge, and awareness of dentists in Ha'il, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, regarding the use of endocrown as post-endodontic restorations, utilizing an online questionnaire. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among dental practitioners working in Ha'il, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Dentists who practice in the Ha'il were included in the current study. The survey study involved a sample size of 245 participants. The researchers employed the snowball sampling technique in this investigation. The validated, closed-ended questionnaires were disseminated to the entire sample of selected dental practitioners using electronic mail. The initial section of the survey encompassed inquiries pertaining to the demographic characteristics of the participants, encompassing variables such as gender, years of professional experience, and workplace. The subsequent section of the survey focused on assessing the participants' knowledge and opinions regarding the endocrown technique. The Chi-square test was employed to assess the associations between categorical variables. Results: The most of participants 228 (93.1%) had knowledge about endocrown and 94 (38.4%) of them received information from their educational institutions. Among the responses of the participants, 232 (94.7%) expressed their preference for utilizing endocrown restorations specifically for molar teeth. Moreover, 183 (74.7%) of respondents indicated that the endocrown is preferred when there is a restricted amount of inter-arch space available. A majority of respondents 152 (62.0%) indicated that the ferrule does not exert any influence on the endocrown. A majority of participants 135 (55.1%) expressed a preference for utilizing lithium disilicate ceramic in the fabrication of endocrown. The most of participants 209 (85.3%) opted to use resin cement for the purpose of cementation. The characteristics of gender, experience, and working place were found to have a significant relationship with the knowledge of the participants about endocrown (p <0.05). Conclusions: The study participants need to enhance their knowledge and awareness pertaining to the utilization of endocrowns as a post-endodontic treatment.

“…However, while using this approach, the preparatory design and material selection should be considered [ 23 , 29 , 30 ]. Similar findings were recording by Wahab et al, who investigated the preferences of Jordanian dentists for EC materials [ 22 ]. The present study demonstrated the related finding that most participants (63.46%) preferred LDGC as the material of choice for EC.…”

Background This study, employing an online questionnaire, aimed to assess and contrast the awareness, knowledge, and perceptions of dentists in Saudi Arabia (SA) regarding endocrowns (EC) as post-endodontic restorations with those of dentists educated in various other countries. Material/Methods We conducted a cross-sectional survey among dental interns and practicing dentists in government facilities, private dental centers, and dental colleges in SA, including participants of diverse nationalities. We disseminated validated, closed-ended questionnaires through WhatsApp via Google Forms. The Chi-square test was applied to assess associations between categorical variables, with a P-value of ≤0.05 indicating statistical significance. Results The majority of participants (61.2%) indicated that EC restorations are best suited for molar teeth. Furthermore, 69.6% asserted that the primary objective of employing EC is to accomplish minimally invasive preparations while preserving the existing tooth structure. Among the responses, 68.3% pinpointed debonding of ECs as a significant cause of failure. Notably, substantial differences were observed in responses concerning the knowledge or practice of EC across various factors such as gender, educational attainment, country of graduation, and workplace. Conclusions The findings reveal a comparatively low adoption of ECs among the participants, irrespective of experience or country of education. This underscores the need for incorporating ECs into dental curricula through theoretical and clinical discussions or considering them as a subject for post-graduate continuing education programs.

“…Following the findings of multiple survey studies on dentists, this study found that prefabricated post/core is the most preferred technique among the participants ( Sarkis-Onofre et al, 2015 , Wahab et al, 2021 ), followed by endocrown, and cast post and core.…”

The gold standard for restoring Endodontically Treated Teeth (ETT) with successful clinical longevity requires having minimal invasive preparations and maximal tissue conservation. Many dentists still consider hybrid post/core/crown to be the first choice for restoring ETT. Endocrown is a viable alternative treatment modality to hybrid post/core/crown. This study aims to assess the proper judgment of dentists working in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on the use of monolithic endocrown versus hybrid post/core/crown for restoring ETT. The IRB of Princess Nourah Bint Abdulrahman University (PNU) Institutional Review Board reviewed this study. The questionnaire was validated and electronically distributed. The participants were pre-informed that their responses are completely anonymous and used for professional purposes only. The questionnaire surveyed dentists working in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, about their preference for different ETT restorative modalities at various clinical scenarios. Data were analyzed using One-way ANOVA and t -test. All P-values of < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. A total of 275 responses were collected; 61.45% were females and 38.55% males. 56% of them were general practitioners, while 16% were consultants. Prefabricated post/core was the most preferred technique among the participants (18.55%), followed by endocrown (12.36%), and lastly, cast post/core (8.73%). The amount of remaining tooth structure was the most influential in the treatment selection (30.18%), followed by the presence or absence of 1–2 mm ferrule (17.82%). Interocclusal space (12.36%) was the least influential factor. Endocrown recorded 63.27% as the most preferred line of treatment in case of insufficient inter-occlusal space. 40.36% preferred endocrown for patients with occlusal risk factors. The amount of the remaining tooth structure and the tooth position significantly affect the treatment options of the participants. Endocrown was the most preferred treatment modality for restoring ETT for patients with occlusal consideration.
