Add-ons with a published integration
Each row is one add-on joined to ABELDent, grouped by the job the add-on does. The depth is the word the source uses, and the company named is the one that published the claim. A missing add-on means we hold no record either way, which is common: most add-on vendors publish a partner directory and most software vendors do not.
