Crown and Bridge Case Tracking

Crown and bridge work is the backbone of most dental labs. It is also where small details — a wrong shade, a missed margin note, an overlooked callback request — turn into expensive remakes and strained dentist relationships. Prostiq gives you case-level tracking built around the details that matter for C&B.

Where Crown and Bridge Cases Go Wrong

Crown and bridge cases involve more variables than almost any other restoration type. Material selection, shade matching, margin fit, occlusal adjustments, and dentist preferences all have to be right. When your tracking system cannot capture these details, mistakes happen.

Shade information written on a sticky note that gets separated from the case pan
Margin notes from the dentist buried in an email that no one references during production
Callback requests — "call before cementing" or "check fit on model first" — that get overlooked in a busy week
Material mix-ups when a dentist prefers zirconia but the default assumption was PFM
No clear record of who worked on which unit in a multi-unit bridge, making QC accountability difficult
Remake requests that arrive without context because the original case details were not preserved

Every one of these problems traces back to the same root cause: critical case information is scattered across too many places, and no single system ties it all together for your team.

Case Tracking Designed for Crown and Bridge Workflows

Prostiq captures every detail that matters for C&B cases and keeps that information attached to the case from intake through delivery. Your technicians see what they need. Your QC process has the context it requires. Nothing gets lost.

Visual Tooth Selection

Select teeth on an interactive dental chart. For multi-unit bridges, select the full span. No more miskeyed tooth numbers or ambiguous written descriptions.

Structured Case Details

Material, shade, and case type are captured as structured fields — not free-text notes that get misread. Filter and search by any of these attributes across your entire caseload.

Case Notes and Attachments

Dentist preferences, callback instructions, and special requirements live with the case. Every technician who touches the case sees the same information.

Stage-Based Workflow

Track each case through Received, Design, Production, QC, Ready, and Shipped. One-click status changes with timestamps so you know exactly when each stage was completed.

Better C&B Tracking Means Fewer Remakes

When crown and bridge details are tracked properly, the impact on your lab is tangible. Here is what changes.

Reduce shade-related remakes by keeping shade information structured and visible at every stage
Eliminate "lost in translation" errors when cases move between design, wax-up, and finishing technicians
Respond to dentist inquiries instantly — pull up any C&B case and report its exact status and assigned technician
Catch missed instructions during QC review because all dentist notes are attached to the case, not buried in email
Improve turnaround consistency by tracking due dates and flagging overdue crown and bridge work automatically
Build dentist loyalty by demonstrating that your lab handles their C&B cases with precision and accountability

How Prostiq Handles a Typical Crown and Bridge Case

From the moment a C&B case arrives at your lab to the day it ships, Prostiq keeps every detail organized and visible.

Intake and Case Entry

Log the case with dentist name, patient, tooth numbers via visual selection, material, shade, and any special notes. Attach photos or documents from the dentist. Set the due date.

Production Tracking

Assign the case to a technician. As work progresses through design, production, and QC, each status change is recorded with a timestamp. If a case stalls, the dashboard flags it automatically.

QC, Delivery, and Follow-Up

QC technicians review the case with all original specs and notes visible on screen. Mark as Ready when approved. Record shipment details. If a remake is needed, the full history is preserved for reference.

Who Benefits from Dedicated C&B Tracking

Any lab that processes crown and bridge work — whether it is 80% of your volume or a growing specialty — benefits from structured case tracking.

Labs where crown and bridge represents the majority of daily production volume

Technicians specializing in PFM, zirconia, e.max, or other C&B materials who need accurate specs at the bench

QC teams reviewing fit, shade, and margin quality before cases leave the lab

Lab managers coordinating multi-unit bridge cases across multiple technicians

Front office staff fielding dentist calls about crown and bridge case status

Labs working to reduce their C&B remake rate and improve first-time accuracy

Why Crown and Bridge Labs Choose Prostiq

Prostiq is not a generic project tracker with dental labels pasted on. It was built by people who understand why shade A2 and shade A3 on the wrong case is a $200 mistake.

Visual tooth charts eliminate the transcription errors that cause C&B remakes
Structured material and shade fields mean critical details are never buried in free-text notes
Full case history is preserved so QC and remakes always have the original context
Dentist-level filtering lets you pull up all active cases for a specific office in one click
Due date dashboard shows which C&B cases need attention today and which are at risk
Affordable pricing — Starter at $49 per month means better tracking does not require a large investment
Simple enough that bench technicians will actually use it, not work around it
