Automatic processing of intraoral films in dental schools

Most of the active and provisional members of the American Association of Dental Schools used automatic processors for developing, fixing, and washing intraoral x-ray films. The S. S. White Auveloper was the processor most commonly used, the next most common being Litton's Profexray. Processing solutions were changed, on the average, two to three times a month. The quality of developing, fixing, and washing was generally reported to be satisfactory. The one major drawback to automatic processing was breakdown and malfunction of equipment.
