True
Coronal leakage is considered to be a more significant factor in the success or failure of endodontically treated teeth than apical leakage.

Study Notes
Endodontic Treatment
- The purpose of endodontic treatment is to eliminate pulp tissue infection and protect the root canal from future microbial invasion.
- The failure rate of endodontically treated teeth with a well-sealed disinfected root canal is approximately 20-30%.
Factors Affecting Success or Failure
- Coronal leakage is a more significant factor in the success or failure of endodontically treated teeth than apical leakage.
- Saliva and microorganisms from the oral cavity can easily migrate alongside poorly adapted coronal restorations and root fillings.
Permanent Restorations
- Mineral trioxide aggregate, amalgam, composite resin, glass ionomer cement, bioceramic-based materials, and nano-hydroxyapatite-based materials have all been used as permanent restorations in endodontic treatment.
Important Facts
- The major determinant of clinical success or failure in endodontically treated teeth is coronal leakage.
- Saliva and microorganisms from the oral cavity can migrate alongside poorly adapted coronal restorations and root fillings.
- No specific material has been mentioned as NOT being chosen for permanent restoration for coronal seal in endodontic treatment.
