CATEGORY 38 AUSTRALASIAN DENTIST EV NTS Welcome to Australia’s leading dental education courses by Dr Angelo Preketes and Dr Michael Walker, key opinion leaders in sedation in dentistry. Many of our patients are fearful of dental treatment, from fear of oral injection, fear of pain, find the process of dentistry to invasive for many reasons. General dentists are very limited in what they can provide to help patents with their concerns about dental treatment. One of the best sedations and anxiolysis dentist can provide safely is Nitrous Oxide sedation also called relative analgesia. Dr Preketes and Dr Walker are the most well-known presenters for Nitrous Oxide sedation and aim that at the end of an intensive 1-day course participances leave ready to return to their practice with the skills to provide Nitrous Oxide sedation to their patients effectively and safely. Dentists leave the with the accumulated wisdom and secrets of many decades of experience accumulated by Dr Preketes and Dr Walker in providing Nitrous Oxide/Relative Analgesia to their patients. The objective of this full day course is to enable participants to become proficient and confident in the administration of Relative Analgesia in clinical practice 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. Our presenters will adhere to any COVID-19 restrictions in place to ensure the safety of participants attending this course. Each participant will use a separate autoclavable circuit, we believe we are the only course that provides this standard at this time. We feel that all nitrous oxide courses should provide individual breathing circuits for participances as we would do in our private practice environment. During the morning session our presenter’s Dr Angelo Preketes and Dr Michael Walker provided information on all aspects on the use of nitrous oxide in the dental surgery and its safety & efficacy. The afternoon session gave those attending the opportunity to experience the effects of nitrous oxide for themselves and are instructed on the use of oxygen, nitrous oxide, connecting circuits, fitting nasal hoods and much more.
