Abstract

Endodontically treated tooth with extensive coronal tooth structure loss, requires additional retention and is restored with post and core system. Post is a metal restorative material placed in the radicular part of the tooth and core is a substructure that replaces the coronal tooth structure.The purpose of this study is to find a correlation between age and gender in cast post restorations. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between age and gender with cast post restoration in maxillary central incisors. The study was done in an university set up - Saveetha Dental College, Chennai. A retrospective study was conducted in patients with cast post restoration in maxillary central incisors.The data was collected from the hospital digital database by reviewing the patient's records and analysing them. Simple random sampling was done to minimize sampling bias. After reviewing, the case sheets were filtered based on data required. The final sample size was 43 patients with cast post restoration in maxillary central incisors. It was observed that, higher frequency of cast post restoration was noted in male population- 44.1% in tooth number 11 and 27.9% in 21. The age group 18-35years [39.53%] had a high prevalence of cast post restoration done in 11. The P value was found to be statistically not significant [0.917] which is >0.05. Within the limits of the study, it was observed that cast post restoration was more prevalent among male population and at the age group of 20years. The most commonly affected tooth was 11. Thus, the study can be used as a reference in understanding the most commonly affected age group with anterior teeth damage. Keywords: Core; Post; Metal; Root Canal System; Endodonti
