| PORTABLE DENTAL DRILLS | ||

| Adec Drill Closed  |
The Adec portable drill unit is one of the finest in the industry. It has high speed, low speed, air, water, and suction. It needs an external compressor to run it. The Rotadent program offers a special grant to defer the cost for those interested in starting dental clinics in under-served third world settings. | Adec Drill Open  |

| DENTAL STERILIZATION | ||
|---|---|---|
| |
When you are doing a very rural outreach without electricity cold sterilization is sometimes the only option available. | Cold Sterilization  |
Prestige Classic Autoclave |
Steam sterilization when possible is the way to go. Cold sterilization does not kill organisms such as Mycobacterium Avium Intercelluli unless cold sterilized for 6 - 8 hours. This is not possible in a missions outreach context. Steam sterilization should be used with susceptible Aids populations in the developing world if electricity is available. The Prestige Classic is fully automatic and fits in a Contico footlocker. The sterilization cycle lasts just 30 minutes. Less expensive brands (1915X New Non Electric Sterilizer and 25X New 110 V Sterilizer) are also listed for completeness. |

| WHEN THE ELECTRICITY FAILS | ||
|---|---|---|
The Dental Missions corollary of Murphey's law is that as soon as you get the carry open and prepped the electricity will go off. Go on your missions trip prepared to deal with a power outage. Pictured here are a mortar and pestil, liquid mercury, and amalgam tablets for molars. The box to the right contains a self curring resin set for anteriors. |

| PACKING | ||
|---|---|---|
The best case for carrying equipment internationally is the Contico Footlocker. It is airline specification size (31" x 17" x 13"). It has metal latches that don't bread easily. And it is lockable and stackable. They travel well on mules, in canoes, and keep your equipment dry in the rain. |
