HTM 01-05 evidence under BDA scrutiny
The BDA has now received from the Chief Dental Officer (CDO) for England, Barry Cockcroft, the grading of the research which is quoted as the evidence-base for the decontamination document HTM 01-05.
The grading denotes the scientific robustness of the research and documents quoted and is currently being closely scrutinised by the BDA's Health and Science Committee. The BDA's recent request for NICE to examine HTM 01-05 in order to report on its scientific provenance and cost-benefit was denied by the CDO as being unnecessary.
