A micro retro amalgam carrier, very small in size to accommodate retro fills, is used to carry amalgam to the site of an apicoectomy. A common amalgam carrier would be too large. A Glick instrument carries and places excess gutta-percha into the tooth, condenses it, and severs the excess. A Woodson instrument carries some materials to the mouth but amalgam would not be one.
