Compression cap for tooth stumps and method of drying a tooth stump

A method of drying a tooth stump and its surrounding area with a compression cap, the method comprising:

• deposition of a first reagent in a first chamber of a mixer and dispenser;
• deposition of a second reagent in a second chamber of a mixer and dispenser;
• mixing of the two reagents in a mixing chamber of the mixer;
• dispensing an intended amount of the mixed reagents into a compression cap and/or onto a tooth stump;
• application of the compression cap by introducing the tooth stump into the hollow space of the compression cap;
• pressing of the spatially profiled rim at the opening of the compression cap against the interdental papilla of the tooth stump in the region of the gingival pocket for sealing off the sulcus;
• formation of the absorbent foam mass from the mixed reagents;
• drawing-up of body fluids by the foam mass;
• and
• removal of the foam by withdrawal of the compression cap with adhering foam.

A method of drying a tooth stump and its surrounding area, the method comprising:

• deposition of a component, stored under cool conditions, of a single-component foam in a dispenser;
• dispensing an intended amount of the single-component foam into a compression cap and/or onto a tooth stump;
• application of the compression cap by introducing the tooth stump into the hollow space of the compression cap;
• pressing of the spatially profiled rim at the opening of the compression cap against the interdental papilla of the tooth stump in the region of the gingival pocket for sealing off the sulcus;
• formation of the absorbent foam mass from the single-component foam;
• drawing-up of body fluids by the foam mass;
