A tool (10) for use in applying filler material (28), such as gutta-percha or the like, to an endodontically prepared root canal (32) of a tooth (30) in the form of an elongated shaft (12) of material having high biological tolerance, the shaft having a handle portion (14) at the proximal end, the shaft being adaptable to receive filler material (28) formed thereon formed into a conical configuration so that the shaft having the filler material thereon may be positioned in the root canal and the shaft thereafter severed by applying force to the handle portion (14) to retain the portion of the shaft and the filler material within the root canal. |
