Dentrix
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.
More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.
API Evangelist profiles Dentrix the way a machine reads it — 10 machine-readable artifacts across 7 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Dentrix scores 22.3/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 7/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Dentrix
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Dentrix. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
APIs 7
Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.
Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Pricing Plans 1
Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.
Published pricing tiers and plan structures.
Rate Limits 1
Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.
Documented rate limits and quota policies.

RATE LIMITSSecurity Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
