A root canal sealing instrument includes an elongated member that includes a shaft and a spiraled member. The root canal sealing instrument further includes a housing that encompasses at least a portion of the elongated member, wherein the housing is configured to slidably move with respect to the elongated member. The housing includes a proximal opening and a distal opening at opposing ends of the housing, wherein the proximal opening is closer to a proximal end of the elongated member than a distal end of the elongated member, and the distal opening is closer to the distal end of the elongated member than the proximal end of the elongated member. The housing further includes an interior chamber with a diameter at least as large as a first diameter of the spiraled member and a second diameter of the shaft.

Root canal sealing instrument

A method of filling a root canal of a tooth includes inserting a plug of filling material into the root canal until a tip of the plug resides substantially at the apical foramen of the root canal and delivering a filling material into a remaining exposed portion of the root canal. An instrument for delivering a plug of filling material into a root canal of a tooth includes a shaft and a head formed integrally with the shaft, wherein the head includes a tip for receiving a plug of filling material. An instrument for delivering filling material into a root canal of a tooth includes a shaft and a working portion formed integrally with the shaft for carrying the filling material.
