Abstract
Dental filament dispenser is a unique plastic molded unit formed by a housing, a retainer means, and a cover. A filament cut-off element is mounted on the cover and provides a unique way for facilitating the easy grasping of the filament and also completely concealing the filament inside the housing when the cover is closed thereby covering the end of the filament to be grasped. The dental filament dispenser is formed of either one piece or two pieces. The one piece includes the housing, retainer means, and cover molded in one piece. The two pieces include the housing separately molded and the divider member and cover molded in one piece.
