A dental capsule that requires a capsule body defining a reservoir that is loaded with predetermined amounts of one or more materials to be mixed, sealed by a removable plug having flexible gripping flange fingers extending laterally relative to the axis of the capsule to facilitate the removal of the plug. Subsequent to the mixing of the materials within the capsule by amalgamation, the capsule is placed in a suitable ejector or syringe whereby the mixed materials can be readily extruded therefrom and directly placed in or about a prepared tooth whereby the flexible gripping flange fingers function as a base for storing the capsule in a vertical position and which flexible fingers are capable of being deflected so as to be pushed through the capsule as the plug is displaced to extrude the mixed material.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A dental capsule for mixing and dispensing a multiple component dental material comprising:a capsule body defining a reservoir for containing a multiple component dental material,said reservoir having an end wall at one end and having an open end opposite said end wall,a discharge nozzle disposed in communication with said reservoir connected to said end wall,a displaceable plug sealing said open end, said plug having a cylindrical body and an inner and outer end portion,said plug having a plurality of flexible flange fingers connected to said outer end portion and extending laterally outwardly therefrom forming a base for storing the capsule in a vertical position,and said flexible flange fingers defining a grip for said plug to enable one to pull the plug free of said capsule body,and whereby said flange fingers deflect axially outwardly to engage the interior of said reservoir as said plug is displaced longitudinally of said reservoir during an extruding operation.
