The invention concerns a storage and mixing device (1, 100) for producinga dental preparation (21, 121) comprising two, three or more mixingcomponents (11, 13, 17; 11, 113, 117), wherein the storage and mixing devicehas an individual chamber or two or more chambers (9, 15; 109, 115) which areseparated from each other in a storage condition and which contain the mixingcomponents (11, 13, 17; 111, 113, 117), and an actuator (5, 105a, b) moveablefrom a storage position for maintaining the storage condition of the storageandmixing device into a reaction position for bringing the mixing components (11,13, 17; 111, 113, 117) together. In accordance with the invention it isproposedthat a first and a second mixing component (11, 13; 111, 113) and optionallyone or more further mixing components are already accommodated in theindividual chamber or a first chamber (9, 109) of the plurality of chamberswhenthe actuator (5, 105a, b) is still in the storage position.
