ADAS 2026 Conference and Evening Social

Introducing the Association of Dental Anaesthetists and Sedationists Annual Conference 2026!

Building on the success of the 2025 conference, where we explored “How Safe Is Your Sedation?”, ADAS returns in 2026 with a focus on an equally critical theme: “Mastering Your Risk in Dental Sedation.”

Join us as we discuss with industry experts, dental professionals and thought leaders as we seek to explore, understand and mitigate the different aspects of risk in the ever evolving landscape of dental sedation.

Whether you are a seasoned sedation practitioner or new to dental anaesthesia, this conference promises insightful discussions, thought provoking lectures and a chance to network with like-minded peers!

Hosted by the ADAS Council and chaired by ADAS President, Consultant Anaesthetist and Partner at Sedation Solutions, Dr Azher Ashraf, this event will feature an expert panel of speakers including Prof Ketan Dhatariya, Khandarp Thakkar, Wendy McAllister, and Drs Will Botha, Jawaad Malik and Frankie Rai.

We will explore a wide range of topics — from enhancing patient sedation experience and ensuring safe controlled-drug management, to navigating key medico-legal considerations and exploring debate-provoking new medications and monitoring technologies.

All designed to support you in Mastering Your Risk in Dental Sedation.

Once again, ADAS invites you to submit interesting case and oral presentations to our Case Presentation and Oral Presentation competitions.
