AB The aim of this study was to present a new technique for plastic carrier removal in retreatment situations. The gutta-percha technique that uses plastic carrier obturators is one of the most commonly used; however, removing this core is tedious and time-consuming. Two clinical cases were performed by an expert in the field of endodontics, to expose this technique, in which a conical ultrasonic tip with an active point and a Hëdstrom hand file allowed the removal of the plastic carrier quickly and effectively. The use of magnification is indispensable for a predictable success with this method
