Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a dispensing device for dispensing a multi-component composition such as, for example, epoxy cements, adhesives, medicaments, and dental materials. More particularly, the invention relates to a dispensing syringe having a syringe body with at least two elongated barrels. Each barrel is used to store and dispense a component of the composition.
- the dispensing syringe may include a dispensing tip containing a static mixing element for mixing the components and then dispensing the mixed composition.
- the syringe is used to mix and dispense a dental composition such as, for example, a dental cement or adhesive.
- Dental professionals use dispensing syringes for storing, mixing, and dispensing a wide variety of dental compositions.
- a dentist may use a dispensing syringe in preparing and dispensing dental impression materials, temporary restorative materials, cements and adhesives.
- Such dental compositions can be self-curable, light-curable, or dual-curable.
- the dental compositions are cured and hardened by different chemical mechanisms to form a strong and durable material.
- a dentist uses a self-curing dental cement, which is prepared from two paste components, for bonding crowns, bridges, veneers, and other restoratives to the tooth. Generally, about 0.25 to about 0.5 mL of dental cement is used in such applications.
- the base paste typically contains polymerizable monomers such as methacrylate or acrylate monomers; a free-radical polymerization accelerator such as a tertiary amine; and fillers such as silica, glasses, or alumina.
- the catalyst paste typically includes a polymerizable monomer, a free-radical polymerization initiator such as a peroxide, and fillers.
- the base and catalyst pastes can be measured and mixed together by hand or an auto-mix syringe system can be used. Dentists often prefer working with auto-mix systems, because the base and catalyst pastes are stored in commercially-available cartridges and can be dispensed from the cartridges in a pre-determined volume ratio to form an optimally mixed composition. The dentist can save time using such auto-mix systems and avoid mixing ratio errors.
- a “double barrel” dispensing syringe is often used in auto-mix systems. In general, the double barrel syringe includes two separate, elongated barrels or chambers that are arranged in a side-by-side configuration. The barrels are sealed, and the base paste is stored in one barrel, while the catalyst paste is stored in the other barrel.
- the barrels are connected to a dispensing tip.
- the dentist pushes on the plunger of the syringe to force the base and catalyst pastes from their respective barrels and into the dispensing tip.
- the dispensing tip typically contains a static mixer. As the base and catalyst pastes are extruded through the static mixer, they are combined and mixed together to form the final, mixed dental cement. Then, the dentist can dispense the cement onto the desired target, for example, a temporary crown, and mount the crown over a “crown-prepped” tooth in the mouth of the patient.
- the double barrel syringe is used to dispense a dental composition used to make the temporary crown.
- a dental composition used to make the temporary crown.
- about 1 to about 2 mL of material is used to make the temporary crown.
- the dentist places a temporary crown on the tooth to cover and protect the tooth, until a dental laboratory makes the permanent crown.
- the temporary crown is made from a polymeric material such as an acrylic. More particularly, a polymerizable material, which is prepared from base and catalyst pastes, can be used to form the temporary crown.
- the base and catalyst pastes are stored in the barrels of the syringe until it is time to prepare the crown.
- the base and catalyst pastes are forced from their respective barrels and into the dispensing tip containing the static mixing element.
- the pastes are mixed in the dispensing tip and the resulting composition is dispensed onto an alginate impression, plastic matrix, or other material to make the temporary crown.
- FIG. 1 One example of a double barrel syringe is illustrated in Drake, U.S. Pat. No. 4,538,920.
- This patent discloses a dispensing device having a having a pair of chambers for storing dental resins separately and a pair of plungers that are forced into the chambers to discharge the resins.
- the device further includes a static-mixing element housed with an exit conduit and a discharge nozzle.
- the static-mixing element is held in a fixed position in order to maintain a predetermined alignment of a first blade in the static-mixing element relative to the two streams of resinous material.
- the patent suggests that this is necessary to achieve maximum mixing of the two streams of resinous materials in the discharge nozzle.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,753,536 describes a double barrel syringe with two compartments for storing two separate dental polymeric materials, a discharge assembly, and a nozzle assembly for dispensing the material.
- the nozzle assembly comprises a common nozzle, a static-mixing element with an arm extending from one end.
- the static mixer is arbitrarily inserted into the bore of the nozzle.
- the discharge of the polymeric material from the compartments causes the static mixer to turn until the arm engages an end stop.
- the end stop prevents further rotation of the arm as material is fed into the nozzle, thereby allowing the mixer to intermix the two materials from the storage compartments.
- the syringe includes a double-plunger assembly with juxtaposed first and second plungers and a mixing tip.
- the plungers are attached at their distal end to a disc-shaped thumb-rest so that when the thumb-rest is depressed the plungers move forward in tandem and discharge the substances into the mixing tip.
- the mixing tip is detachable after the tip is locked to the syringe body, so a person can replace the tip with a locking cap.
- Bills, U.S. Pat. No. 6,732,887 discloses a double barrel syringe having detachably connecting barrels, detachably connecting plungers, and an applicator tip.
- the barrels can be manufactured at different times and out of different materials so that they have different colors, insulating properties, and opaque or translucent properties.
- the plunger assembly includes a first plunger, which is pressed to force out the first component from the first barrel and a second plunger, which is pressed to force out the second components from the second barrel.
- the double barrel syringe includes a dispenser body having a first and second cylindrically shaped chamber, an actuator, a closure, and a dispenser tip.
- the first and second components of the material are stored in their respective chambers.
- the actuator includes first and second plungers, which are adapted to slide within the first and second chambers and dispense the respective components.
- the plungers are connected at their distal end by a thumb pad. A dental professional depresses the thumb pad when he or she is ready to dispense the material. This causes the plunger rods to move in unison and dispense the first and second components simultaneously.
- ejector-type guns as described in Wilcox et al., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,624,260 and 5,722,829.
- These gun-like applicators include a cartridge having a first chamber and a second chamber for storing dental materials and a pair of plungers for dispensing the materials through a discharge tip.
- the applicator further includes a handle extending from a body portion and an arm located next to the handle and movable relative to the body. To advance the plungers, the arm is swung about the pivot point.
- applicator guns can provide an effective system for dispensing highly viscous resin materials.
- the applicator guns increase the mechanical advantage of the operator. This allows the operator to hold the gun in various orientations and dispense the material in difficult to reach areas of a patient's oral cavity.
- applicator guns have several disadvantages including their added bulk, complexity of operation, and relatively high cost to manufacture.
- the syringe device should be capable of dispensing two components of a dental, composition simultaneously and in precisely metered quantities.
- a dental professional should be able to handle and use the syringe easily.
- a user should not be required to spend a large block of time loading the components into the barrels, mixing, and dispensing them accordingly.
- the dispensing mechanism should be relatively simple and not require the interaction of many small parts.
- the syringe should be economically feasible to manufacture.
- the syringe should have a dispensing mechanism, which provide a mechanical advantage to the user.
- the present invention provides a dispensing syringe having the foregoing features and characteristics.
- the present invention relates to a dispensing syringe for dispensing a multi-component dental composition, preferably a two component composition.
- the syringe includes a syringe body having a double barrel structure.
- the first elongated barrel is used for storing and discharging a first component of the composition.
- the first barrel has an opening for receiving a first plunger rod and an exit port for discharging the first component.
- the second elongated barrel is used for storing and discharging a second component of the composition.
- the second barrel has an opening for receiving a second plunger rod and an exit port for discharging the second component.
- the syringe further includes a plunger rod assembly comprising a rearward stop plate attached to a first threaded plunger rod and a second threaded plunger rod.
- the first and second plunger rods are arranged in parallel and move jointly within the first and second barrels, respectively.
- the plunger rods may be outfitted with elastomeric pistons at their forward-facing end portions for forcing the components through the exit ports.
- the syringe also includes a rotatable knob for connecting the threaded plunger rod assembly to the syringe body.
- the threaded knob has a through-bore with a continuous internal thread for engaging the outer threads of the first and second plunger rods. As the knob is rotated, the first and second plunger rods move together within their respective barrels to discharge the components of the composition.
- the syringe body may include a dispensing tip for receiving the first and second components of the composition.
- the dispensing tip then delivers the composition to a desired target area.
- the dispensing tip may further be outfitted with a static mixing element, which combines and mixes the components of the composition.
- the mixed composition is then dispensed through the nozzle of the dispensing tip.
- a syringe having more than two barrels can be used to dispense a multi-component composition.
- the syringe may have three (3) or four (4) barrels for dispensing a three or four component dental composition.

- the dispensing syringe ( 10 ) includes a double-barreled syringe body ( 12 ); a split-threaded plunger rod assembly ( 14 ); and a rotatable, threaded, connector knob ( 16 ).
- a dispensing tip ( 18 ) is preferably installed at the distal end of the syringe body ( 12 ) as shown in FIG. 2 .
- the dispensing tip ( 18 ) is used for mixing first and second components of a dental composition and then dispensing the mixed composition onto a selected target such as, for example, a plastic matrix for making a temporary crown or bridge.
- the dispensing tip ( 18 ) is an optional feature of the syringe ( 10 ), and it may be desirable to use the syringe ( 10 ) without the dispensing tip ( 18 ) in some dental procedures.
- FIG. 3 shows a close-up, perspective of the syringe body ( 12 ) including first and second cylindrically-shaped barrels or chambers ( 20 , 22 ), which are used for holding first and second components ( 24 , 26 ) of a dental composition.

- a projecting exit port ( 32 ) adapted for discharging the first component ( 24 ) into the dispensing tip ( 18 ) is located at the distal end of the barrel ( 20 ).
- the second barrel ( 22 ) includes a proximate opening ( 34 ) for receiving a second plunger rod ( 36 ) and a projecting exit port ( 38 ) for discharging the second component ( 26 ) into the dispensing tip ( 18 ).
- the distal end of the syringe body ( 12 ) can include side flanges ( 40 ) for connecting the dispensing tip ( 18 ) thereto.
- a circular retainer plate ( 42 ) is integrally connected to the distal end of the syringe body ( 12 ) and is adapted for receiving the dispensing tip ( 18 ) as the tip is fastened to the syringe body.
- the exit ports ( 32 , 38 ) extend through the plate ( 42 ).
- the dispensing tip ( 18 ) is secured over the exit ports ( 32 , 38 ) and to the retainer plate ( 42 ).
- the first and second components ( 24 , 26 ) can be discharged from the first and second barrels ( 20 , 22 ) and through the exit ports ( 32 , 38 ) to the dispensing tip ( 18 ).
- the syringe body ( 12 ) and other pieces of the syringe device ( 10 ) can be constructed from any suitable material and are preferably made from a moldable plastic composition. Injection-molding and other manufacturing processes can be used to fabricate the syringe parts.
- the resulting plastic syringe ( 10 ) should be lightweight and durable.
- the syringe ( 10 ) can be constructed to a suitable size for storing and dispensing the dental composition. Double barrel syringes for dental compositions have been made historically in such sizes as to hold 2.5 mL to 10 mL of product.
- the double-barrel syringe ( 10 ) with cylindrically shaped first and second barrels ( 20 , 22 ) represents only one embodiment of the syringe device of this invention.
- the first and second barrels ( 20 , 22 ) can have any suitable cross-sectional shape for holding and dispensing the dental composition.
- the first and second barrels ( 20 , 22 ) can have a “D-shaped” or “wedge-shaped” cross-sectional structure.
- the plunger rod assembly ( 14 ) is shown including a rigid rearward stop plate ( 44 ) and first and second, threaded plunger rods ( 30 , 36 ), which are attached thereto.
- the plunger rods ( 30 , 36 ) are arranged in parallel and separated by a slight gap therebetween.
- Each plunger rod ( 30 , 36 ) includes an outer threaded edge ( 46 , 48 ) and an inner non-threaded edge ( 50 , 52 ), respectively.
- the second thread ( 48 ) located on the outer edge of the second plunger rod ( 36 ) is a continuation of the oppositely positioned first thread ( 46 ) located on the outer edge of the first plunger rod ( 30 ) as shown in FIG.
- the outer thread of the plunger rod assembly ( 14 ) can be considered a split-thread comprising first and second outer threaded portions ( 46 , 48 ).
- the first plunger rod ( 30 ) further includes a forward-facing end portion ( 54 ) for forcing the first component ( 24 ) into the dispensing tip ( 18 ), and an opposing rear-facing end portion ( 56 ) attached to the stop plate ( 44 ).
- the second plunger rod ( 36 ) also includes a forward-facing end portion ( 58 ) for forcing the second component ( 26 ) into the dispensing tip ( 18 ) and an opposing rear-facing end portion ( 60 ) attached to the stop plate ( 44 ).
- each plunger rod ( 30 , 36 ) may be outfitted with a piston ( 62 , 64 ) at its respective forward-facing portions ( 54 , 58 ).
- the first and second pistons ( 62 , 64 ) typically are made of an elastomeric material that effectively seals the respective plunger rods ( 30 , 36 ) from the composition that is being dispensed through the barrels ( 20 , 22 ).
- other sealing components such as, for example, flanges or O-rings, which provide a seal and wipe the side-walls of the barrels ( 20 , 22 ) as the plunger rods ( 30 , 36 ) are being actuated, may be installed in accordance with this invention.
- the elastomeric pistons ( 62 , 64 ) may be separately manufactured components that are snap-fitted or otherwise connected to the forward-facing portions ( 54 , 58 ) of the plunger rods ( 30 , 36 ).
- the pistons ( 62 , 64 ) may be molded to the ends ( 54 , 58 ) of the plunger rods ( 30 , 36 ).
- the pistons ( 62 , 64 ) slide along the inner sidewalls of the barrels ( 20 , 22 ) as the plunger rods ( 30 , 36 ) are driven into the barrels ( 20 , 22 ) by manually turning the threaded, connector knob ( 16 ).
- the pistons ( 62 , 64 ) force the first and second components ( 24 , 26 ) into the dispensing tip ( 18 ) by this sliding/sealing mechanism.
- the first and second plunger rods ( 30 , 36 ) are arranged in parallel and preferably connected at their respective rear-facing end portions ( 54 , 58 ) by the rigid stop plate ( 44 ). This structure allows for unison displacement of the plunger rods ( 30 , 36 ).
- the plunger rods ( 30 , 36 ) move jointly within the barrels ( 20 , 22 ) so that the first and second components ( 24 , 26 ) are delivered simultaneously into the dispensing tip ( 18 ).
- the turning of the threaded, connector knob ( 16 ) and displacement of the plunger rods ( 30 , 36 ) within the barrels ( 20 , 22 ) are described in further detail below.
- the plunger rods ( 30 , 36 ) can be more easily inserted through the connector knob ( 16 ) by flexing the plunger rods ( 30 , 36 ) slightly inwards. After being inserted through the bore of the knob ( 16 ), the threaded plunger rods ( 30 , 36 ) will resume their natural shape and flex outwardly so as to engage the internal threads ( 82 ) of the connector knob ( 16 ). The inter-mating of the threaded plunger rods ( 30 , 36 ) with the internal threads ( 82 ) of the connector knob ( 16 ) is described in further detail below.
- the grooved segments ( 72 , 74 ) thus can be used to help align and guide the plunger rods ( 30 , 36 ) into the barrels ( 20 , 22 ) when assembling and using the syringe ( 10 ).
- the radial fins ( 66 , 68 ) engage and slide along the respective inner grooved segments ( 72 , 74 ) as the plunger rods ( 30 , 36 ) are inserted into the barrels ( 20 , 22 ).
- the grooved segments ( 72 , 74 ) of the supporting member ( 70 ) thus brace the plunger rods ( 30 , 36 ).
- this supporting mechanism keeps the outer threads ( 46 , 48 ) engaged with the internal threads ( 82 ) of the connector knob ( 16 ).
- the plunger rods ( 30 , 36 ) are prevented from flexing inwardly under the incline pressure caused by the engaged threads during rotation of the connector knob ( 16 ).
- the syringe body ( 12 ) includes an outwardly extending circular ledge ( 76 ).
- the ledge ( 76 ) includes a recessed surface portion ( 78 ) adapted for receiving the connector knob ( 16 ).
- the ledge ( 76 ) is integrally connected to the syringe body ( 12 ) so that it surrounds the first and second barrels ( 20 , 22 ).
- the knob ( 16 ) includes a circular locking flange or bead ( 80 ) projecting from its lower end portion.
- the knob ( 16 ) can be snap-fitted onto the ledge ( 76 ) of the syringe body ( 12 ) by pressing the circular locking flange ( 80 ) into the circular recessed surface portion ( 78 ) of the ledge.
- the locking flange ( 80 ) and recessed ledge ( 76 ) are pressed together, they interlock to capture the connector knob ( 16 ). In this manner, the knob ( 16 ) securely connects the plunger rod assembly ( 14 ) to the syringe body ( 12 ).
- the threaded, connector knob ( 16 ) is free to rotate about the longitudinal axis of the syringe body ( 12 ).
- Turning the securely fastened connector knob ( 16 ) causes the threaded plunger rods ( 30 , 36 ) to translate forward and deliver the first and second components ( 24 , 26 ) to the dispensing tip ( 18 ) as described in further detail below.
- the foregoing is an exemplary embodiment for fastening the connector knob ( 16 ) to the syringe body ( 12 ). It is recognized that other suitable fastening means can be used if desired.
- the threaded knob ( 16 ) and each of the plunger rods ( 30 , 36 ) can be considered to have a series of engaging teeth.
- This system of gear teeth which includes the threaded connector knob ( 16 ) and threaded plunger rods ( 30 , 36 ), functions in a manner similar to a planetary gear system, where the threaded knob ( 16 ) rotates about an axis and imparts axial motion to the threaded rods ( 30 , 36 ).
- FIG. 5A shows a close-up view of the plunger rod ( 36 ) containing multiple teeth ( 84 ) and the threaded sleeve ( 85 ) of the knob ( 16 ) containing multiple teeth ( 86 ).
- the rotational direction of the threaded plungers ( 30 , 36 ) and connector knob ( 16 ) can be either right-handed or left-handed.
- a dental professional can grip the syringe body ( 12 ) with his or her right hand. The user can then grasp the rotatable knob between the thumb and finger of his or her left hand.
- the rotatable knob ( 16 ) can include ribs ( 88 ) on its outer surface for gripping ease. Then, the user rotates the knob ( 16 ) in a clockwise direction (when viewed from the rearward stop plate ( 44 ) connected to the plunger rods ( 30 , 36 )) to advance the rods forward and dispense the dental composition accordingly.
- the connector knob ( 16 ) is rotated in the direction of the arrow A, and the plunger rods ( 30 , 36 ) move together in the direction of Arrow B. Conversely, if a person rotates the connector knob ( 16 ) in the direction of the arrow C, the plunger rods will move together in the direction of Arrow D as shown in FIG. 9 .
- the optional dispensing tip ( 18 ) is attached to the distal end of the syringe body ( 12 ) so that it may receive the first and second components ( 24 , 26 ), which are discharged from the first and second barrels ( 20 , 22 ), respectively. Then, the components ( 24 , 26 ) can be dispensed through the nozzle ( 19 ) of the dispensing tip ( 18 ) to the desired target.
- the first and second barrels ( 20 , 22 ) of the syringe ( 10 ) are filled respectively with the first and second components ( 24 , 26 ) of the composition.
- a twist cap ( 90 ) is placed over the distal end of the syringe ( 10 ) to seal the syringe ( 10 ) during shipping and storage.
- the dentist or other clinician is ready to use the syringe ( 10 )
- he or she twists the cap ( 90 ) off the syringe ( 10 )
- the user removes the dispensing tip ( 18 ) and places the cap back over the end of the syringe ( 10 ) so that the syringe ( 10 ) may be stored.
- the twist cap ( 90 ) can be applied or removed by firmly grasping finger handle ( 92 ) and exerting a turning motion. Alternatively, the user can leave the dispensing tip ( 18 ) on the syringe “as is”, until he or she is ready to use the syringe ( 10 ) again. Then, the user will replace the old dispensing tip ( 18 ) on the syringe ( 10 ) with a new dispensing tip ( 18 ).
- Conventional dispensing tips known in the industry, may be used with the dispensing syringe ( 10 ) of this invention. Such dispensing tips ( 18 ) typically include a static mixing element for combining and mixing the first and second components ( 24 , 26 ) together.
- the components ( 24 , 26 ) are dispensed from the first and second barrels ( 20 , 22 ) onto a mixing pad or the like. Then, the components ( 24 , 26 ) can be mixed together using a spatula or other conventional mixing device to form a mixed composition ready for use.
- first and second plunger rods ( 30 , 36 ) will advance in a forward direction to force the first and second components ( 24 , 26 ) into the dispensing tip ( 18 ).
- the first and second components ( 24 , 26 ) can be any dental composition.
- the first component ( 24 ) can be a base material and the second component ( 26 ) can be a catalyst material.
- the base material ( 24 ) can be stored in the first barrel ( 20 ), and the catalyst material ( 26 ) can be stored in the second barrel ( 22 ).
- the dental professional wishes to form the mixed dental composition, he or she rotates the connector knob ( 16 ) to force the base and catalysts materials into the dispensing tip ( 18 ).
- the base and-catalyst materials are mixed by the mixing element in the dispensing tip ( 18 ) to produce the desired mixed composition.
- the dental professional then dispenses the resultant composition through the dispensing tip ( 18 ) and to the targeted area.
- the connector knob ( 16 ) provides good tactile feedback to the practitioner as he/she turns the knob ( 16 ) to dispense the composition. This tactile feedback helps the user to more accurately sense and control the amount of composition being delivered. Also, it is possible to dispense the composition in a precisely metered quantity by rotating the connector knob ( 16 ) to a desired point along the plunger rod assembly ( 14 ). For example, if desired, the knob ( 16 ) can be rotated to the point where the rigid plate ( 44 ) contacts the connector knob ( 16 ).
- the screw threads of the connector knob ( 16 ) and plunger rods ( 30 , 36 ) provide ergonomic benefits, because the practitioner does not need to apply excessive force to the plunger rods ( 30 , 36 ). Rather, the practitioner can simply and easily rotate the connector knob ( 16 ) to actuate the plunger rods ( 30 , 36 ) and discharge the composition.
- the syringe devices described and illustrated herein represent only presently preferred embodiments of the invention. It is appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes and additions can be made to such syringe devices without departing from the spirit and scope of this invention.
- the syringe device could be constructed so that it included more than two barrels for dispensing the dental composition. More particularly, a three (3) or four (4) barrel syringe could be constructed for dispensing a three or four component dental composition.
- the syringe devices of this invention have been described herein primarily as being suitable for dispensing a multi-component dental composition, particularly a composition comprising a base paste and catalyst paste, it should be understood that the syringes can be used to dispense other multi-component compositions.
- the syringe devices can be used to dispense multi-component compositions of epoxy cements, adhesives, and medicaments.
- Using the syringe device to dispense a multi-component dental composition represents only one of the many possible ways that the syringes of this invention can be used. It is intended that all such embodiments be covered by the appended claims.
