Abstract

A dental tray having depressions therein for holding a bottle of dental material upside down and having wells of distinctive shape and configuration. An inexpensive disposable tray is disclosed for use in preparing single or multiple component bonding liquids and sealants. Multiple depressions configured to hold a bottle having a cap with a shoulder upside down are formed within the tray so the dentist can readily dispense the single or multiple component bonding liquids and sealants. Distinctively shaped wells are positioned in line with the depressions holding the bottle upside down preventing confusion between the multi-part dispensed bonding liquids and sealants. A finger indentation in the side opposite the depressions is provided to facilitate holding the lightweight tray during mixing or use, as well as to further provide a divided fuel to the tray preventing confusion between the dispensed component parts of the multiple component bonding liquids and sealants.
