The invention relates to a device for storing and mixing especially pasty materials, preferably dental materials, such as filler materials. The invention comprises at least one compartment () that receives the substance, said at least one compartment () being formed by sealing () a base film () and a cover film (), which can be detached from each other by peeling.

Device for storing and mixing pasty materials

An apparatus for photopolymerizing synthetic materials, specifically dental materials containing camphor quinone or phosphine oxide as a photo-initiator, includes a light source constituted by a semiconductor base solid-state radiation emitter 12 which emits in the blue spectral range. Since the radiation emitter emits in a small useful spectral range only, any heat radiation is avoided. The overall device is formed as a small, light-weight and handy device with a built-in battery 15. The solid-state radiation emitter 12, which is preferably operated in the light emitting diode (LED) mode, may be arranged directly on the tip 20 of the apparatus which can be directed toward the treatment site.
