Abstract
An applicator and material dispensing system having an applicator frictionally retained within an applicator holder and the applicator holder frangibly attached to a material holder. Material placed within the material holder is initially sealed by a frangible portion adjacent one end of the applicator holder. Upon separation of the applicator holder from the material holder the material contained therein is exposed permitting the applicator, upon removal from the applicator holder, to be used to dispense the material. The invention is particularly well suited to dispensing small quantities of dental material.
