Abstract: A stack of improved bracket table cover sheets for use by dentists is disclosed. The sheets have ridges throughout their peripheries. The outer edges of the ridges extend downwardly. The ridges are designed to fit snugly over the peripheral ledges of the bracket table or of a separate backing designed to be positioned on the bracket table. Preferably, one of the raised edges is provided with an integral flap. The improved bracket table cover sheet of the stack comprises a paper component and a water and organic solvent impervious component. In one form, the impervious component is wax that impregnates the paper component. In another form the impervious component is a polymeric coating. Each bracket table cover sheet of the stack is characterized by a drape, hand, and feel that permits it to be easily folded and wrapped into a disposable pack.

Abstract: A capsule is provided in which dental amalgam may be mixed, and the capsule itself connected to a dispenser for direct application into a cavity. The capsule includes a cylindrical body with a longitudinal offset passage holding a quantity of silver fillings or the like. End caps are removably mounted to each end of the body portion, with one cap formed with a socket having a pestle adapted to move in and out of the passage, while the other cap is provided with a pair of sockets, one with a pestle and one with a charge of mercury. The second cap is rotatable to different stop positions, first to align the cavity with the mercury to mix it with the silver and then to align the pestle cavity with the passage for mixing. The dispenser includes a detachable nozzle tip and a plunger engageable at opposite ends of the center portion for dispensing the mixed amalgam.
