An aerosol delivery system for dispensing a multi-component dental composition is provided. The system is particularly suitable for dispensing dental impression material containing mixed components A and B. The system includes a dispensing device having an inner container with pressurized aerosol chambers. The first chamber is used for storing and dispensing component A, and the second chamber is used for storing and dispensing component B. The dispensing device includes a piston assembly having a first piston member that slides within the first chamber and a second piston member that slides within the second chamber. The pistons force the components into a common manifold, and the combined material is fed into a dispensing tip containing a static mixer, wherein the material is mixed and then dispensed. |
