Dental material container with porous flow through applicator

A dental capsule for dispensing and applying a low viscosity dental material comprising:

• a tubular body defining a reservoir and having an open end and a discharge end;
• a flange attached to an end of said tubular body, whereby said tubular body is capable of attaching to a syringe;
• a metal cannula connected to said discharge end of said tubular body, said metal cannula having a discharge orifice and formed of a ductile metal which can be bent to form a desired angle relative to a longitudinal axis of said tubular body;
• a shaped foam flow through applicator attached to said metal cannula and completely covering said discharge orifice;
• and
• a displaceable piston adapted to fit within the open end of said tubular body to seal said open end,
• a low viscosity dental material adapted to be placed in said reservoir to be dispensed through said shaped foam applicator when said piston is advanced within said tubular body whereby said foam applicator is used to spread, paint, or brush the low viscosity dental material directly onto a dental surface as the low viscosity dental material is being dispensed from said reservoir.

A dental material dispensing device for dispensing and applying low viscosity dental materials comprising:

• a body portion defining a reservoir, said body portion having a full open end at one end adapted to receive and dispense a low viscosity dental material;
• a flange circumscribing said full open end of said body portion, whereby said body portion is capable of attaching to a syringe;
• a cannula attached to the other end of said body portion, said cannula formed of a ductile material which can be bent to form a desired angle relative to a longitudinal axis of said body portion;
• said cannula defining a discharge nozzle at said other end of said body portion, said discharge nozzle having a discharge orifice;
• and
• a porous flow through cover connected to said discharge nozzle adjacent said discharge orifice, whereby said porous flow through cover completely covers said discharge orifice through which the dental material is dispensed from said discharge nozzle and flows through said porous flow through cover and by which the dental material may be spread, painted or brushed directly onto a dental surface as the dental material is being dispensed.
