The invention relates to a capsule (3) for producing a composition, particularly for dental care, comprising an enclosure (6) provided with at least two compartments (8), the number of compartments corresponding to the number of components to be mixed, and at least one wall (10) for isolating the components, said wall (10) being provided to isolate the components form each other in storage mode, and to allow fluidic communication between the compartments (8) in mixing mode, said capsule also comprising a driving rod (2), one end of which is designed in compliance with the ISO 1797 standard, for removable attachment to a hand-held part (1).

A storage and mixing device includes a mixing compartment, two pistons that each extend from the mixing compartment and end in a displacement section, each piston defining a passageway having a first opening communicating with the mixing compartment and a second opening communicating with an inlet at the displacement section, and a housing having two piston guides and a cartridge compartment connected to the piston guide, each piston guide slidably receiving one of the pistons, and each cartridge compartment receiving a removable cartridge that includes a cavity for containing separate substances and an opening sealed by a cartridge seal. The displacement section of each piston includes a piercing member for piercing the cartridge seal of the cartridge arranged in the corresponding cartridge compartment, such that the displacement section enters the cartridge cavity and displaces the contained substance into the mixing compartment via the inlet and the passageway.

A dispensing device for dental material, which includes a planetary gear drive with at least three planet gears in engagement with an annulus gear. The annulus gear is radial float-mounted relative to the planet gears. A radial force applied on the annulus gear urges the annulus gear into an off-center relationship with respect to an imaginary circle on which the planet gears are arranged.

An elongated prophy paste container has a length at least twice the width to receive a prophy cup therein and facilitate the loading of prophy paste thereon for use in a prophy operation. The elongated container can be formed with optional detent members at the opposing ends of the container to engage indents in a corresponding support member to retain the container in engagement with the support member during use of the container. The support member can be configured to mount onto a dental instrument or to incorporate a stand that can sit on a flat surface. The configuration of the support member for mounting on a dental instrument can have a dual receiver configuration to engage dental instruments with different diameters. The configuration of the support member incorporating a stand can be formed with an elongated neck to permit positioning thereof between the fingers of the dental hygienist.

A composite liquid agent package containing a first pouch filled with a first liquid and a second pouch filled with a second liquid; and a kit for preparing a multicomponent composition, the kit including an outer bag housing the composite liquid agent package. With an opposite end section of the first pouch and an opposite end section of the second pouch being superposed, the superposed parts are heated and pressurized to exclude sealants, which are present within the opposite end sections, outwardly of the extremities of the outer layers of the opposite end sections, while heat-fusing the two extruded sealants together to join the two pouches.

A mixer assembly with a static mixing element arranged within a mixing channel. The mixer assembly has an inlet end, for receiving components of a substance and a dispensing end for dispensing a mixture from the components. The inlet end comprises for each component an inlet and an associated non-return valve. Each of the inlets is connectable for fluid communication with the mixing channel via the associated non-return valve.

A modular workspace platform system for providing a mobile work surface for a user includes a workspace platform attachable to a location specified by the user. The workspace platform includes a compact work surface for use in performing at least one manual task including temporarily storing a material, mixing two or more materials, temporarily supporting a tool, and providing a tool cleaning surface. In an embodiment, the compact work surface includes at least one of a trough, a tapered channel, a tool insertion slot, a wipe holder, a textured surface configured as the tool cleaning surface, a mixing surface a ruler holder, and a matrix ring holder.

The present invention relates to a container (100) for producing a self-curing or dual-curing dental synthetic material composition (200), which container comprises a deformable wall (101), having a first synthetic material component (103-1); and a second synthetic material component (103-2) for curing the synthetic material composition (200) or starting a curing reaction.

A dental tray molding kit for making a custom dental tray includes a generic tray, a thermoformable member removably insertable into the generic tray and a deformable spacer member placeable onto the thermoformable material and bitable by the user upon placement of the spacer member onto the thermoformable member in the user's mouth. The generic tray may be a rigid carrier tray and the kit may include a partially deformable member placed between the rigid carrier tray and the thermoformable member. A method for dental tray molding includes providing a generic tray, heating a thermoformable member until sufficiently pliable, placing the thermoformable member over the generic tray, placing a deformable spacer member over the thermoformable member, applying a biting force from a user onto the thermoformable member through the deformable spacer member, cooling the thermoformable member and separating the thermoformable member, whereby the thermoformable member forms a custom dental tray.
