Abstract: Individual doses of dental adhesive are dispensed onto a flat conformable card and enclosed under a cover sealed to the card. The cover is peeled off at chairside and individual doses of the adhesive are picked up by a wiping action of a dental tool or of an object to be bonded, such as, for example, by wiping action of an orthodontic bracket base over the adhesive bearing surface of the card. The card deforms to conform to the curvature of the edge of the appliance or object to cleanly transfer all of the adhesive of a dose from the card to the appliance base.

Abstract: Individual orthodontic bracket doses of bracket adhesive are dispensed onto a flat resilient card and enclosed under a vapor proof cover sealed to the card. The cover is peeled off at chairside and individual orthodontic brackets pick up the individual doses of adhesive by a wiping of the adhesive doses by the orthodontist as the brackets are mounted on a patient's teeth. The card deforms to conform to the curvature of the edge of the appliance to cleanly transfer all of the adhesive of a dose from the card to the appliance base. On dose of adhesive is preferably provided for each tooth of a patient receiving a full set of orthodontic appliances. The individual doses are preferably divided into a bead of a basic dose with two small fractional supplemental dose beads to provide the orthodontist with the option of increasing the amount of adhesive on a given appliance.
