**APIs profiled:** 7

Dentrix is a dental practice management platform from Henry Schein One, used by dental offices to manage patients, scheduling, clinical charting, treatment planning, insurance, and billing. Dentrix exposes third-party integration APIs through two distinct channels. The original Dentrix Developer Program (DDP, launched 2012) targets the on-premise Dentrix desktop application: integrations run locally against the office's Dentrix database over password-protected ODBC connections, stored procedures, table views, and DLL functions (authenticated via a RegisterUser call) - it is NOT a public REST/cloud API, and cloud integrations require a locally installed desktop agent. The newer Dentrix Ascend API Exchange (launched July 2023) is a cloud, REST/JSON API over HTTPS secured with OAuth 2.0 on the SOC 2 Type II Dentrix Ascend platform, exposing patient, scheduling, claims, and inventory data. Both channels are partner-gated: access requires an application, a signed agreement, and paid developer fees. There is no public self-serve API key or published OpenAPI, so the APIs below are modeled from Henry Schein One's public developer materials rather than an official machine-readable specification.
