Dental instrument

A dispenser has a bottle () and a closure () for the bottle (). The closure () has abase () forming a dispensing outlet () and a flip-cap for openably closing the dispensing outlet (). The base () is attached on the bottle (). The dispenser () further having a hinge () which interconnects the flip-cap and the base () for swiveling the flip-cap relative to the base () between a closed position, in which the flip-cap closes the outlet (), and an open position in which the outlet () is open. The hinge () forms a swivel axis. The closure () forms a first end () in a direction toward the flip-cap and a second end () in a direction toward the base (). The closure () in an area between the hinge-level plane and the second end () forms an outer surface circumferentially around the longitudinal axis which is at least partly provided by an outer surface of the base () and an outer surface of the flip-cap.

Dispenser for a flowable substance

A micro-needle device for delivering a dental local anesthetic that includes a micro-needle array and a hollow spheroid shaped container. The micro-needle array has a base and two or more elongate micro-needles. The elongate micro-needles have an interior surface defining an opening through the elongate micro-needle and the base has a first major surface and a second major surface through which the opening of the elongate micro-needle passes to provide a passage across the base. The hollow spheroid shaped container includes an inside surface, where the first major surface of the base and the inside surface of the hollow spheroid shaped container define a volume that is in fluid connection with each opening of the two or more of the elongate micro-needle. This allows the dental local anesthetic to flow from the volume of the micro-needle device through the opening of the two or more of the elongate micro-needle.
