Developments in materials and techniques, geographical locations, age, specialty, and affiliations of dental practitioners affect the preference of postendodontic restoration.

Methodology An observational study was conducted among 320 dental practitioners in the state of Tamil Nadu. The first section of the survey was concerned about the demographic information and the second half was about the treatment concept and materials of choice for restoring ETT. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze the study results.

Fiber posts remain the most preferred post type (66.7%) followed by custom cast post and core (14.3%).
