System for carrying out sterilization of equipment

A system for sterilizing dental drills which include a turbine and a rotatable shaft connected to the turbine, and a conduit connected to the turbine, the sterilization occurring at a temperature substantially less than 100 degrees Celsius, the system comprising:

• means for holding the electrolyzed saline solution;
• means for holding the dental drill;
• means for directing the electrolyzed saline solution into the conduit;
• and
• means for controlling the rotation of the turbine as electrolyzed saline solution passes through the conduit and through the turbine such that any microbes present in the conduit and in the turbine are substantially killed.
