title: [Radiographic study of teeth restored with porcelain and gold veneered crowns].
abstract: Radiographic study was performed to assess the results of the prosthetic therapy of teeth restored with porcelain and gold veneered crowns. Retroalveolar radiographs were used to evaluate the cast post-core-root ratio the presence of empty spaces between post-core and root canal filling. Also, bone resorption, marginal fit of the crowns, caries and proximal contacts were investigated. The failures were registered in a very high percentage for the teeth restored with gold veneered crowns. The poor marginal fit of the crowns, the presence of the secondary caries, and the bone resorption were at a very high level which could alarm the practitioner. The obtained results warn therapists that much greater attention should be paid to the construction of artificial crowns and to the radiographic analysis that gives very useful data on that regard.
