Storage/dispensing system and method for the application of a flowable substance

A storage/dispensing/application system for a flowable dental substance, comprising

• a storage/dispensing system (9) for flowable dental substance, including
• a solvent-tight, resiliently deformable container (10) for the storage and provision of the flowable dental substance, and
• a dispensing device (1) connected to the container (10) for discharging the flowable dental substance from the container (10), the dispensing device having
• a cup (2) which has an outlet orifice (3) and a wall (4, 4′) in which a passage orifice (5) is provided for introducing the flowable dental substance from the container (10), and
• a passage channel (6) on the opposite side of the passage orifice (5) to the cup (2), the passage channel (6) having a cross-section which is constant or decreases towards the passage orifice (5) in a discharging direction of the flowable dental substance, and
• a closure cap (20) having a ring (23) resting against an outside wall of a side wall (4) of the cup (2) wherein a space exists between the ring (23) and an inner wall surface of the closure cap (20) when the closure cap (20) is attached to the dispensing device (1), wherein an entire exterior of said sidewall (4) of the cup (2) is in parallel alignment with an interior surface of said ring (23) and wherein said closure cap further comprises a protrusion that rests firmly against a bottom of said cup when said closure cap is attached to the dispensing device, and
• an application instrument (12), wherein the application instrument (12) is constructed in such a manner that at least a pick-up portion (13) thereof is insertable through the outlet orifice (3) into the cup (2) in order to pick up the flowable dental substance therein.

A method for the application of a flowable dental substance (14), comprising the following steps:

• providing a dental system with a storage/dispensing/application system, the storage/dispensing/application system including
• a storage/dispensing system (9) for the flowable dental substance, the storage/dispensing system including:
• a solvent-tight, resiliently deformable container (10) for the storage and provision of the flowable dental substance, and
• a dispensing device (1) connected to the container (10) for discharging the flowable dental substance from the container (10), the dispensing device having a cup (2) which has an outlet orifice (3) and a wall (4, 4′) in which a passage orifice (5) is provided for introducing the flowable dental substance from the container (10), and a passage channel (6) on the opposite side of the passage orifice (5) to the cup (2), the passage channel (6) having a cross-section which is constant or decreases towards the passage orifice (5) in a discharging direction of the flowable dental substance, and
• a closure cap (20) having a ring (23) resting against an outside wall of a side wall (4) of the cup (2) wherein a space exists between the ring (23) and an inner wall surface of the closure cap (20) when the closure cap (20) is attached to the dispensing device (1), wherein an entire exterior of said sidewall (4) of the cup (2) is in parallel alignment with an interior surface of said ring (23) and wherein said closure cap further comprises a protrusion that rests firmly against a bottom of said cup when said closure cap is attached to the dispensing device, and
• an application instrument (12), wherein the application instrument (12) is constructed in such a manner that at least a pick-up portion (13) thereof is insertable through the outlet orifice (3) into the cup (2) in order to pick up the flowable dental substance therein,
• introducing the flowable dental substance into the cup (2) from the container (10) through the passage orifice (5),
• removing the flowable dental substance (14) from the cup (2) by means of the application instrument (12), and
• applying the flowable dental substance (14) by means of the application instrument (12).

A storage/dispensing system (9) for a flowable dental substance, comprising

• a solvent-tight, resiliently deformable container (10) for the storage and provision of the flowable dental substance, and
• a dispensing device (1) connected to the container (10) for discharging the flowable dental substance from the container (10), the dispensing device having
• a cup (2) which has an outlet orifice (3) and a wall (4, 4′) in which a passage orifice (5) is provided for introducing the flowable dental substance from the container (10), and
• a passage channel (6) on the opposite side of the passage orifice (5) to the cup (2), the passage channel (6) having a cross-section which is constant or decreases towards the passage orifice (5) in a discharging direction of the flowable dental substance, and
• a closure cap (20) having a protrusion (22) projecting into the cup (2) of the dispensing device (1), and a ring (23) resting against a side wall (4) of the cup (2),
• wherein a circumferential collecting groove (7) is provided on the outside of the dispensing device (1) for collecting any flowable substance which escapes from the cup (2).
