This full day course for dentists, is presented in conjunction with Australian Dental Association SA Branch and the Australian Society of Dental Anaesthesiology (ASDA).

The objective of the course is to enable participants to become proficient and confident in the administration of Relative Analgesia in clinical practice. The courses are endorsed by the Australian Society of Dental Anaesthesiology and provide an efficient introduction to dental Relative Analgesia. The courses are also an excellent refresher for dentists wishing to update their theoretical and practical skills in the delivery of Relative Analgesia. Participants will be given the opportunity to administer nitrous oxide-oxygen sedation to each other, and to experience for themselves the effects of RA in a safe environment.

Australian Dental Association SA Branch and ASDA will adhere to COVID-19 restrictions in place to ensure the safety of participants attending this course. Each participant will use a separate autoclavable circuit. Providing autoclavable circuits to those participating in training incurs significant cost and currently ASDA run courses, are the only ones in Australia to do so.

We value the opportunity in these challenging times to educate dentists on nitrous oxide training/sedation. Our facilitators for this course are Dr Michael Walker and Dr Angelo Preketes. Dr Walker (BDS, FPFA) has previously provided training in Singapore, New Zealand and around Australia. He is a past President of ASDA, current Treasurer and is the University of Sydney lecturer for Diploma students in intravenous sedation and is the senior clinical associate and external examiner in intravenous sedation. He teaches dentists from across Australia the skills required for sedation dentistry. Dr Angelo Preketes, BDS, GradDipClinDentx2 (implants and sedation) is a Lecturer and Mentor at the University of Sydney and a Private Practitioner.
