Dappen dish, single-use

A single-use dappen dish is a small, shallow container designed for mixing various dental materials at the point of care. These vessels are used by clinicians to prepare substances like cements, composites, and fluoride treatments to the correct consistency before applying them to a patient.

These devices are manufactured from thermoplastic materials and are intended to be discarded after a single procedure to maintain hygiene. They are typically utilized in conjunction with a handheld holder to ensure stability while the clinician mixes components with a spatula.
