The invention relates to a mixing capsule (1) comprising a housing (2), characterised in that a first part of the housing (3) is mounted rotatably about a rotational axis against a second part of the housing (4), the rotational axis corresponding to the longitudinal axis of the housing (2), the first part of the housing (3) comprising at least one first chamber (5) to receive a composition A, the second part of the housing (4) comprising at least one second chamber (6) to receive a composition B, the at least one first chamber (5) and the at least one second chamber (6) being initially closed respectively, a first outlet opening (7) of the at least one first chamber (5) standing substantially congruently above a second outlet opening (8) of the at least one second chamber (6) when the first part of the housing (3) being rotated about a predefined angle against the second part of the housing (4), the first outlet opening (7) and/or the second outlet opening (8) being adapted to transfer composition A into the at least one second chamber (6) and/or composition B into the at least one first chamber (5). The invention further relates to a method for mixing at least two compositions A and B to a composition C in a mixing capsule. Likewise, the invention relates to a use of a mixing capsule for storing, mixing and applicating pasty to kneadable dental two-component compositions.
A mixing capsule (1) comprising a housing (2), a first part of the housing (3) being mounted rotatably about a rotational axis against a second part of the housing (4), the rotational axis corresponding to the longitudinal axis of the housing (2), the first part of the housing (3) comprising at least one first chamber (5) to receive a composition A, the second part of the housing (4) comprising at least one second chamber (6) to receive a composition B, the at least one first chamber (5) and the at least one second chamber (6) being initially closed respectively, a first outlet opening (7) of the at least one first chamber (5) standing substantially congruently above a second outlet opening (8) of the at least one second chamber (6) when the first part of the housing (3) being rotated about a predefined angle against the second part of the housing (4), the first outlet opening (7) and/or the second outlet opening (8) being adapted to allow transfer of composition A into the at least one second chamber (6) and/or of composition B into the at least one first chamber (5), the at least one first chamber (5) and the at least one second chamber (6) forming a common mixing chamber when the first outlet opening (7) with the second outlet opening (8) being in substantially congruent position, composition A and composition B being stored mixably to composition C in the common mixing chamber and being mixed to composition C by moving the mixing capsule, the first outlet opening (7) and the second outlet opening (8) not standing congruently to each other in a storing and transport phase,
