Abstract: The invention relates to a dispenser for dispensing light curable substances, such as substances used for various dental applications. The dispenser includes a body defining a dispensing formation, the body and dispensing formation being designed to cooperate with a closure, such as a lid, for closing-off the dispensing formation and thereby isolating light curable substances contained in the dispensing formation from light. A charging opening may also be defined by the body, that leads into the dispensing formation and permits charging of light curable substance into the formation by means of a syringe, or the like, in which these substances are generally contained.
