[[File:Demat circuit Day of the Daleks.png|thumb|left|[[Third Doctor|The Doctor]] holds [[The Doctor's TARDIS|his TARDIS']] dematerialisation circuit. ([[DW]]: ''[[Day of the Daleks]]'')]]

A '''dematerialisation circuit''' was an essential part of a [[Type 40]] [[TARDIS]] which enabled it to '''dematerialise''' from normal space into the [[Time Vortex]] and '''rematerialise''' back from it. ([[DW]]: ''[[Terror of the Autons]]'')  

During his [[exile on Earth]], the [[Time Lord]]s removed the dematerialisation codes from [[The Doctor]]'s mind and made the dematerialisation circuit of [[the Doctor's TARDIS|his TARDIS]] inactive. He coveted the working dematerialisation circuit of [[the Master's TARDIS]], which ultimately proved incompatible with his own ship. ([[DW]]: ''[[Terror of the Autons]]'', ''[[The Mind of Evil]]'', [[EDA]]: ''[[The Eight Doctors]]'')

Once the Time Lords had rescinded the Doctor's exile as thanks for his defeat of the [[renegade Time Lord]] [[Omega]], they also restored his knowledge of the dematerialisation codes and gave him with a new circuit. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Three Doctors]]'')

[[Dalek]] [[time travel]] devices contained mini-dematerialisation circuits. ([[DW]]: ''[[Day of the Daleks]]'')
