AI agent for dentists
Dental Lab Case Tracking Agent
Every lab case arrives correct before the seat appointment
What it does
Crowns, bridges and dentures go to a lab and must return before the seat appointment, or the patient's visit is wasted. This agent tracks each case from impression or scan to delivery. It checks for a scan rejection first; if the lab rejected the scan for margins, the patient is rebooked for a new scan. It checks lab status daily against the seat date, and flags any case that will not arrive at least 2 days before seating, so staff can reschedule early. When the case arrives, it compares the lab slip with the prescription for shade, material and tooth number. Mismatches are held and a remake request is drafted. The dentist confirms the case is ready before the patient is called. Edge case: a scan rejected for unclear margins rebooks the patient instead of waiting on the lab.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
