Cordent Kits
At the end of 2007 The Cordent Trust disbanded and generously donated £18,500 to Dentaid and Bridge2Aid. To keep the Cordent name alive Dentaid has decided to offer overseas projects and volunteers specialists kits. These kits will either be given projects via subsidy or paid for by supporters who are volunteering overseas.
There are four main Cordent kits currently available. These are:-
Full instrument Kit - Designed for extensively trained dental professionals (dentists, dental therapist equivalent) operating in areas without access to neither clinical facilities nor electricity. Principally an extensive extraction kit, it also includes instruments and materials for oral surgery.
Sponsorship cost: £309.00
Packed in to a Rucksack + £25.00
Packed into an Aluminium case + £27.00
Oral Health Promotion Kit – Designed for health workers to provide oral health promotion, particularly in low-income community settings like schools and health posts. It also includes a starter kit of toothbrushes and fluoride toothpaste.
Sponsorship cost: £55.00
ART Kit – Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) is a WHO endorsed method of providing simple fillings using hand instruments and Glass Ionomer (FUJI 1X). Not requiring electricity or sophisticated equipment or training, ART can be implemented by dentists or general health workers and is particularly appropriate to low income community environments.
Sponsorship cost: ART Kit - £131.00
Packed in to a plastic toolbox + £8.00
Combined Kit – This kit combines the main elements of all the above kits, to enable a single practitioner to provide a holistic oral health service to the community he/she serves. This is likely to be appropriate for resident health workers in rural communities.
