PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED : To provide a device for dosing and discharging a powder-form medium. SOLUTION : The invention relates to a device (10) for dosing and discharging a powder-form medium, in particular ceramic powder for dental purposes, including a storage container (12) with a first outlet opening, as well as a slider with a receptacle (80) for a quantity of medium to be dosed, which can be aligned with a first outlet opening or a second outlet opening, through which the medium can be selectively discharged. In order to achieve reproducible discharge of a defined quantity of free-flowing medium in an uncomplicated design, and since there is no requirement for re-usability after emptying the storage container, the invention proposes that the slider (20) be connected to at least one spring element, which admits a force upon the slider to align the receptacle (80) with the first outlet opening, and that the receptacle (80) can be secured by a lock element (34) in a position aligned with the second outlet opening.
