This paper reports the findings of a survey of a group of general dental practitioners (GDPs) from one region of the United Kingdom. The practitioners were asked to complete a questionnaire investigating their approach to the restoration of root-filled teeth. A high response rate was achieved and the replies indicated that most practitioners restore teeth within 1 month of completing the root filling. Nonprecious cast alloys cores were popular as was amalgam for core build-ups. Most practitioners opted for a post which was two-thirds the length of the root and zinc phosphate was the most popular luting material. Almost one-quarter of respondents believed that a root is strengthened by a post retained restoration and a similar number have never attended a postgraduate meeting on the subject of the restoration of root-filled teeth.

Light-cured glass ionomers are a promising new class of restorative material, with beneficial properties such as adhesion to tooth structure and fluoride release. Their wide range of clinical applications includes use as bases and liners and in Class V cavity restoration. However, disadvantages such as plastic deformation and poor dimensional stability may limit their usefulness.
