  • Single-dose dental adhesive delivery system and method
    Patent number: 7090491
    Abstract: A dispenser has first and second reservoirs configured to contain first and second components of a single dose of a multi-component dental adhesive. The reservoirs are sealed by closures which are slidably received in the reservoirs. When the closures are moved from first positions to second positions, the contents of the reservoirs may be accessed with an adhesive applicator. An applicator configured to be used with the dispenser has a collar spaced from a tip of the applicator, whereby the applicator may be used to move the closures while ensuring that the tip does not contact the closures.
