    Abstract: A flip-top cap (83) for dispensing a flowable dental substance which is monolithically formed of a thermoplastic material. The flip-top cap has a base (4) from which a dropper nose (8) protrudes and a closure that is hingedly connected to the base for pivoting between a closed position, in which the closure closes the dropper nose, and an open position, in which the dropper nose is uncovered from the closure. The closure has an end wall (20) forming an outward planar end face (21) and, opposite thereof, an inner face (22) that has a sealing bulge (23). The end wall forms a first thickness (T1) between the vertex of the sealing bulge and the end face and a second thickness (T2) between a marginal area adjacent the sealing bulge and the end face. The ratio between the first and second thickness is between 1.4 and 1.6.
