Endodontic success is dependent on a variety of interrelated biological factors, but removal of bacteria and sealing the root canal system in three dimensions remains the ultimate goal in the treatment of apical periodontitis. This discussion will focus on the working properties and design characteristics of the recently released ProTaper Ultimate system to illustrate how the endodontic procedure can be simplified while maximizing predictability and clinical outcomes.
