EliteStar scores are calculated using DentaQual, Fluent’s objective, data-driven dental quality and performance measurement platform. DentaQual uses a dentist’s actual claims data to score the dentist across multiple categories of quality metrics and then compares the dentist’s scores to the statistical norm among that dentist’s peers in the same specialty and geography. DentaQual scores are based on commercial insurance claims data in DentaBase®, Fluent’s multi-payer, fee-for-service, and continually growing dental claims database. DentaBase now contains over 5 billion dental procedures derived from claims data from over 70 national and regional dental benefits plans. ![EliteStar Dentist Practice](https://fluent.dental/hs-fs/hubfs/Fluent_October_2024/Images/EliteStar_Dentist-Practice_Award_Logos.gif?width=300&name=EliteStar_Dentist-Practice_Award_Logos.gif) The EliteStar Dentist and Practice awards recognize the top ten performing dentists and practices in each state based on their 2022 practicing behavior. This is the fifth year for the annual EliteStar Dentist Awards and the third year recognizing the top dental practices. Paul T. Sheils, CEO of Fluent, said, “We are thrilled to announce the new EliteStar Awards recipients!
