Lab Case Tracker Form

A dental lab case tracker in table form. Each row records the patient name, date sent, lab name, the expected return date, the date the case actually came back, and the patient’s appointment. The header asks staff to fill it out for every lab case.

Keep it in the lab area or at the front desk, and have the assistant who sends the case log it. Check it before confirming seat appointments and during the morning huddle so no patient arrives for a case that has not come back from the lab. A filled sheet also shows which labs tend to run late, which helps when choosing where to send future cases.
