The endodontic spreader is used for the final filling of a canal, helping to laterally condense gutta-percha in the canal. The endodontic plugger condenses the gutta-percha vertically. The endodontic explorer is used to locate the opening of a small canal orifice during an endodontic procedure. A Glick instrument carries and places excess gutta-percha into the tooth, condenses it, and severs the excess.
