Description
(aka: Gallipot) A small, shallow, hand-held concave vessel used to mix dental materials chairside before application to the patient during dental procedures. The user pours the required amount of ingredients into the container and mixes them by hand (e.g., with a spatula) until the consistency of the mixture is appropriate. It is most often used for prophylaxis and fluoride treatments, for mixing composite materials, acrylics, cements, and amalgams.
