Course overview

Pain control is central to enabling clinicians to provide dental treatment and to reduce the suffering of patients. During the last century, there has been a tremendous increase in our understanding of pain and how it’s mediated.

This has progressively led to the availability of a broader range of techniques and drugs to minimise or eliminate pain. This course examines these different techniques and drugs.
