(1)  No dentist may administer conscious sedation via an enteral route without having first obtained a class I permit from the board, unless a dentist has been granted a permit under s.

(a) Provides proof of one of the following:

1. A board approved training course which includes:

b. Twenty clinical cases utilizing an enteral route of administration to achieve conscious sedation, which may include group observation.

2. Graduate level training approved by the board that, at a minimum, includes the requirements as set forth in subd. 1. a. and b.
