Open Dental, previously known as Free Dental, is an open-source dental practice management software licensed under the GNU General Public License. [3] It is written in the C# programming language compatible with Microsoft .NET Framework and was first released in 2003. Current versions of the software require Microsoft Windows, but earlier versions supported other operating systems, including Linux. [4] The full function version is only available under the commercial license because it includes royalty-bearing, licensed materials from the Code on Dental Procedures and Nomenclature (CDT) of the American Dental Association (ADA).
Open Dental is owned and sponsored by Open Dental Software, Inc., an Oregon corporation. [5] The company’s revenue comes from monthly technical support fees, required for the first 6 months of use. [6] The first Open Dental customer bought technical support services on July 22, 2003. [7]
The software was developed using .NET technologies. The last time the company pushed any updates to the code was two years ago and the company doesn't accept outside contributions. [8]
The database uses the dual-licensed MySQL database program. Both local preferences and those which apply to every computer in an office are stored in the MySQL database. [9]
The database schema is published and publicly viewable. [10]
