A dental nozzle, cartridge, capsule or container having a porous or foam
flow through applicator connected at the discharge end thereof; and
having a body portion containing or receiving a low viscosity dental
material. In one form, a displaceable plunger or piston is disposed
within the body portion to extrude the dental material through the
discharge orifice and attached flow through applicator. The foam or
porous applicator may be connected to the discharge end at the time of
manufacture as by molding, or by mechanically connecting or by adhering
the same to the discharge orifice as part of the assembly process. The
flow through applicator may be made in a variety of shapes to provide
improved and controlled application of a low viscosity dental material to
a dental site. Additionally, the porosity of the porous or foam material
may be matched to the viscosity of the dental material to control the
flow of dental material therethrough.
