Pathology.

The treatment would be conservative restoration.

A cross-sectional sample of 17 dentists completed a selfadministered questionnaire covering; knowledge and practice of management of FPM with poor prognosis.

However, 70% choose extraction to manage unrestorable and badly caries FPM. This indicated that most of the dentists who participated in this study were not aware of the enforced extraction of the FPM and the guideline of management of FPM with poor diagnosis.
