CAPP has completed eleven editions of its Nitrous Oxide Sedation course, a hands-on programme led by Dr Yasmin Kottait that first took place on 31 December 2022 in Dubai. What began as a single course has grown into one of the most consistently requested clinical training titles in the CAPP portfolio, with the most recent edition held on 12 June 2026, a twelfth confirmed for October 2026, and a further course already scheduled for 31 January 2027.

The course addresses a clinical area of rising importance: the safe and effective use of inhalation sedation in dental practice. Nitrous oxide and oxygen sedation offers a reliable means of managing anxious patients, paediatric cases, and those who would otherwise avoid or delay treatment. The sustained demand is reflected in its scheduling, as CAPP typically holds the course twice a year, yet in 2025 the title ran three times to accommodate the volume of registrations. Each edition combines theoretical grounding in pharmacology, patient assessment, and emergency management with supervised practical sessions on sedation equipment and protocols.

Dr Yasmin Kottait has led every edition since its inception, providing continuity that has shaped the programme's reputation among returning and first-time participants alike. With the twelfth edition set for October 2026 and a further course confirmed for 31 January 2027, dental professionals seeking to add inhalation sedation to their clinical skill set, or to refresh their existing competence, are invited to register early given the consistent demand for places.
