<p>The Department has no plans to commission a study on the specific risk of transmission
of Alzheimer’s disease in dentistry. There is no evidence that Alzheimer's disease
can be transmitted through any medical procedure. In dentistry, patients are protected
from the risk of infection by either mandatory single use instruments, or where instruments
are reused, by guidance on strict decontamination procedures as per the Health Technical
Memorandum 01-05: Decontamination in primary care dental practices - 2013 edition.</p><p>
