One case record
Keep dentist, patient, due date, notes, files, stage, delivery, and payment status together.
Required case information
The workflow starts by collecting enough information to avoid callbacks, rework, and missed handoffs.
- Original case reference
- Remake reason and responsibility
- Dentist notes and photos
- New due date, stage, delivery, and invoice impact
Typical production stages
Every lab can adjust stages, but a clear shared sequence makes the work easier to manage.
- 1 Remake intake
- 2 Reason classification
- 3 Approval and assignment
- 4 Production
- 5 Quality check
- 6 Delivery and review
Common bottlenecks
- Remakes logged without clear cause
- No link back to the original case
- Repeat remakes not reviewed
- Unclear billing or credit decisions
