<p>A dental adhesive delivery system (10) provides a capsule (11) containing a single usage amount of dental adhesive (15) in a non-resealable container (14) for use in treating a single patient. The packaged amount of adhesive (15) may include up to the amount required to treat all of the teeth needing treatment of not more than a single patient, for example in the range of approximately 0.005 to 1.0 ml. The single use container (14) is preferably formed of injected molded plastic cup (20) and includes a reservoir section (30) having a cavity (22) therein that contains the adhesive (15) and a break off section (31) that surrounds an opening (24) that receives a snap fit cap (21). The cap (21) and break off section are discarded and the adhesive (15) is removed with the tip (55) of a wand (12) for application to the teeth of a patient, whereupon the container, which is not resealable, is discarded. A vapor seal secondary containment such as a pouch (13) of foil, plastic or polyfoil material, for example, limits the escape and prevents unacceptable loss of organic carrier or solvent from the adhesive.</p> |
