An endodontic obturator comprised of an obturation needle and a handle for the positioning of the obturator, and wherein the obturation needle and the handle are joined by means of a rod that is breakable by turning it along its longitudinal axis. When the obturator is a central obturator, the obturation needle advantageously comprises a locating head located in the end of the obturation needle in contact with the rod. It permits removing the handle easily, by simply turning it a few times.
