Apple Tree Dental's vision and nearly 40 years of organizational commitment have resulted in a unique longitudinal database comprising dental records for over 194,000 patients. This database includes valuable information from diverse populations, such as community-dwelling older adults, long-term care (LTC) residents, children in Head Start and school programs, adults with disabilities, and other groups facing barriers to oral health.
To support effective research collaborations, new resources have been developed to help translate this data into evidence that drives clinical and policy innovations aimed at promoting oral health equity. Past research partnerships have involved academic institutions, the Mayo Clinic’s Rochester Epidemiology Project, the Center for Health Workforce Studies, West Health Institute, and CareQuest Institute for Oral Health.
Aggregate data includes overall patient population breakdown, Head Start patients, Long Term Care Patients, service statistics, and diagnoses.
