Aim: The purpose of the present study was to assess various treatment options amongst prosthodontists for rehabilitation of missing posterior teeth in their patients. Methodology: 100 prosthodontists participated in this questionnaire survey. 7 questions were asked from the practicing prosthodontists about various treatment options they choose for rehabilitation of posterior missing teeth. They were also asked about how patient’s choices as well excess cost of materials, influence their decision as well as long term stability. Statistical analysis like- standard deviation, mean etc. p value <0.05 was considered significant. Results: We observed that 69% of prosthodontists (1.38±0.92) believed that missing posterior teeth rehabilitation does indeed suffer from more number of failures as compared to anterior teeth replacement due to maximum masticatory load put on the posterior teeth (p=0.03). Patient preference influences the decision making of almost 76.9 % prosthodontists especially based on compliance, cost as well as phobia. Cost is always an important decision maker for 89% participants while selecting the treatment option (p=0.0145). Conclusion: Fixed dental prosthesis has become the treatment of choice for long term stability according to the prosthodontists. However, cost effective removable partial dentures will always be there for elder population.
