OBJECTIVES:

Dental Reimbursement compensate dental schools, postdoctoral dental education programs, and dental hygiene education programs for unreimbursed costs they have incurred in providing oral health services to patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS). Reimbursement will be made for documenting the number of patients with HIV/AIDS treated and uncompensated costs incurred providing oral health services to them. Community Based Dental Partnership aims to increase access to oral health care services for HIV positive individuals, while at the same time providing education and clinical training for dental and hygiene providers, located in community-based settings. This is achieved through multi-partner collaborations between dental and dental hygiene education programs and community-based dentist and dental clinics, marked by shared expertise and resources.
