the BEST way to learn full arch

on REAL human CADAVERS

Full Arch Cadaver Course

April 10 - 11, 2026 - Dallas, TX

August 21 - 22, 2026 - Dallas TX

2 Day AOX cadaver course in Dallas, TX. Presented by Dr. Clark Damon. We were the original AOX cadaver course dating back to 2018. Since 2018, we have had 40 cadaver courses and taught over 400 dentists, prosthodontist, and surgeons from across the USA. Our foundation is based on literature, success of over 3,200 arches, and 30,000+ implants placed. You will not find a more comprehensive course that is relevant for your first arch, your 20th, 100th arch, or 500th arch. This is great for beginner Archers, and for advanced looking to gain pearls and critique of their surgical techniques. Course format is lecture, hands-on, and cadaver. You will receive a booklet of all the slides presented.

Cadavers - real feel.

This two day course involves hours of lecture, discussion of key implant concepts, AOX protocol, case selection, RED FLAGS of full arch treatment, and prosthetic aspects. The goal of this course is to gain the knowledge and practice the skills needed to begin to introduce and incorporate Full Arch reconstruction into your practice.

Implant Positioning

We will teach you how to free hand so that you will not rely on full arch guides which are costly and do not always ensure success. Dr. Clark Damon also will teach where your osteotomy begins, and the different configurations - Axial, M configurations, and the Inverted V configuration.

Hands-on Models.

In preparation for our cadaver surgery, we go over the step by step full arch protocol on bone like models. Perform the alveoplasty, place 8 implants, practice timing the implant, and orienting the abutment all for a perfect Full Arch dental implant surgery.

Prosthetic Work-Up

Learn the pre-surgical prosthetic and post-surgical prosthetic workflows. Dr. Damon will teach you how to tackle tough skeletal discrepancies, anterior open bites, over-closed patients. We will also discuss our 3-step finalization workflow. Digital and analog techniques are discussed and taught.

Feel Confident!

Our goal is to have doctors not only completely educated in the indications for “All on X” or Full Arch Implant treatments. Cadavers allow for a safe environment to build confidence by placing implants on cadavers. Have a case? Bring it with you and we can plan and strategize together!

Case Selection

Dr. Damon will highlight the “Red Flags” of full arch, one of them being when the sinus extends anteriorly and touches the canine roots. We will discuss proper case selection, but also get you ready to take your next step in Full Arch—with remote anchorage.
