A series of documents providing guidance on decontamination is being developed by the Scottish Dental Clinical Effectiveness programme (SDCEP).

The first of these documents Cleaning of Dental Instruments was initially published in March 2007 and update in October 2014.
The second of these documents Sterilization of Dental Instruments was published in December 2011
The third document Managing Decontamination into Practice was published in October 2014 and aims to help dental practices to create the documentation that underpins a decontamination management system.

Health Facilities Scotland will soon be publishing Scottish Health Technical Memorandum (SHTM) 01-05: Management, equipment and process of the decontamination of dental instruments in a Local Decontamination Unit (LDU) in NHSScotland. SHTM 01-05 Part C: Process will supersede the SDCEP Decontamination into Practice guidance series.
