The project was made possible by a retiring Albuquerque orthodontist, who donated nearly 30-years worth of patient records to UNM. More than 400,000 oral images, 20,000 x-rays, and thousands of other records - offering an in-depth look at Albuquerque's diverse population - have been de-identifed and compiled into a publicly accessible database.
