Several factors can contribute to the clinician's ability to achieve success in endodontic therapy. The importance of the coronal seal to positive endodontic outcomes has been established in numerous studies; fracture strength also has a significant influence on the prognosis of an endodontically treated tooth. This presentation discusses the role of these two factors in contemporary endodontic therapy and demonstrates how the utilization of an adhesively bonded, synthetic root-filling system can support the practitioner's management of nonvital teeth.
