The Disposable Plastic Dappen Dish is a versatile, single-use alternative to traditional rubber bowls. It serves as a mixing vessel, soaking cup, or dispenser for a variety of dental liquids and materials, emphasizing hygiene and convenience.
Technical Specifications & Material Science: These are injection-molded from clear or opaque medical-grade polystyrene (PS) or polypropylene (PP). Polystyrene offers crystal clarity for easy content visibility, while polypropylene is more chemical resistant. The design mimics the classic dappen dish: a small, cup-like vessel with a flat base and vertical or slightly tapered walls. They are often provided sterile in individual peel pouches or non-sterile in bulk bags.
Industry Standards & Compliance: Produced in a GMP environment. Materials are medical-grade, non-pyrogenic, and latex-free.
Application Scenarios:
- Mixing: For small batches of adhesive resins, liners, or bonding agents.
- Soaking: Holding disinfectant solutions for burs, endodontic files, or small instruments at chairside.
- Dispensing: Containing fluoride gel, etchants, or topical anesthetics during procedures.
- Impression Taking: Holding light-body or wash silicone material for syringe application.
Usage Guidelines: Tear open the sterile pouch if required. Pour or dispense materials into the cup. Use with a disposable applicator or mixing stick. Designed for single-patient use. After the procedure, dispose of the entire cup and its contents as clinical waste, eliminating cross-contamination risk and cleaning labor.
Market Value Proposition: This product champions infection control and workflow efficiency. By being disposable, it removes the risk of material carry-over from poor cleaning and saves assistant time. For distributors, it is a high-volume consumable that integrates seamlessly into modern, single-use protocols. Its low cost per unit makes it an easy adoption for clinics looking to minimize reprocessing tasks.
