The ADA Division of Global Affairs will be collecting dental textbooks and dental hand pieces for dental students and dentists in Haiti at the 2011 ADA Annual Session in Las Vegas. If you have handpieces and/or textbooks to donate, please bring them to Las Vegas. A collection bin will be found near the International Registration Area. Dentists in Haiti need handpieces that are in functional condition with the following specifications: four hole high speed with push button and four hole low speed with contra angle. Please do not bring hand-pieces without the specifications to Las Vegas; they will not be compatible with the equipment available in Haiti.
