Two-component mixing capsule, in particular for dental purposes

Method of using a mixing capsule with a capsule housing for mixing, wherein the capsule housing has an opening to receive a rotary element, an opening located in a back region to receive a sealing piston and a discharge opening located in a front region, the rotary element comprising a first mixing chamber being arranged in the opening to receive the rotary element and a sealing piston being arranged in the opening located in the back region,

• the first mixing chamber being rotatable in a first position for storing and in a second position for mixing and applying, by rotating about the rotational axis of the rotary element, the rotational axis being approximately perpendicularly arranged to the longitudinal central axis of the capsule housing of the mixing capsule, the first mixing chamber with a second mixing chamber forming a common mixing chamber in the second position,
• said method comprising placing a first substance in the first mixing chamber, placing a second substance in the second mixing chamber, rotating the rotary element to bring the first mixing chamber to the second position thereby forming the common mixing chamber and comingling the first substance with the second substance.
