The goal of endodontics and restorative dentistry is to retain the natural teeth with maximal function and pleasing aesthetics. Endodontically treated teeth with little or no clinical crown can be restored with different post and core materials for additional retention and support. A structured, self administrable questionnaire consisting of ten multiple-choice questions (MCQs) encompassing major aspects of the restoration of a broken tooth conducted through an online survey was prepared and shared among dentists, and dental students and the responses were statistically analyzed. The survey received 100 responses. Among the participants of this study we observed shows the female participants (30%) prefer to do full veneer crowns for endodontically treated teeth than males (5%), female respondents (19%) did not prefer to give post in for endodontically treated teeth than males (16%), female respondents were using glass ionomer cement, miracle mix and composite as the main core build up material in descending order than males and both female respondents (59%) and males (32%) prefer to give no restoration in a 100% intact tooth and their association was seen to be statistically significantly performed using Chi square tests. As per the data, though the surveyed practitioners had a sound knowledge regarding the restoration of a broken tooth is adequate, there is a need for an update regarding the correct and current application of these critically important aspects in dentistry for providing better treatment without any complications.
