Dentists given root canal warning over CJD risk - Guardian
Extract:
"Dentists were yesterday ordered to stop reusing instruments in root canal treatments after fears that they could spread the infection of variant CJD.
The chief dental officer, Barry Cockcroft, issued the edict after evidence that vCJD could hypothetically survive the sterilisation techniques used between surgeries. He emphasised that the move was precautionary, and there had been no reported cases of anyone contracting vCJD from dental procedures.
Dr Cockcroft added: "The guidance is purely an extra precaution. The public should continue to attend their dentist as normal.""
