Abstract: A container for dental equipment is equipped with six minitrays (2 to 7), which can be removed and sterilized individually, each of which comprises a handle (8) on its upper side and legs (9) on its underside. A minitray (2) is provided with elongated recesses (a to f), three similarly constructed minitrays (3 to 5) are provided with holes (9) for receiving root canal instruments and two further minitrays (6, 7) are provided with larger holes (h, k) for receiving glass tubes for holding treatment material. The four minitrays (2 to 5) have substantially the same dimensions, whereas the two latter minitrays (6, 7) are half as wide as the other minitrays.
