Send a case, share the link, and watch the lab’s updates arrive in OdontoX without a single refresh — files included. This guide is the chairside reference; the settings reference for the same features lives at /clinical/lab-cases.

​
What’s new

  • Full-page lab case creation. Pick the patient, lab, tooth, due date and notes on a real page instead of a cramped popup that cut off the calendar.
  • The appointment right rail shows real lab cases — status, lab name, due date and tooth — without opening the case.
  • A shared link for the lab. Share it via WhatsApp or email. The lab uploads their files and updates the status from the link without needing an OdontoX account.
  • Auto-refresh on shared-link updates. Status changes from the lab flow into the dashboard without a manual reload.
  • A toast on lab upload. “New lab attachment for [patient]” fires when the lab uploads, so you do not have to keep checking.
  • Lab uploads in the Radiology Workstation. Lab-uploaded images surface in the X-Ray & Radiology Files module alongside in-clinic radiographs.
  • JPEG / PNG only, 25 MB each, multi-file for lab uploads.
