The College has an in-house dental laboratory to process crowns, fixed and removable partial dentures, and complete dentures for student patients; they also use outside laboratory services for additional support. These services are obtained via laboratory prescription through the axiUm system only.
Support laboratory services are critical to the timeliness of patient care and the student's attainment of minimum clinical experiences. To better ensure that cases are expedited, students' submitted work authorizations must be completed properly and fully, including a description of the required work, patient name, type of restoration and material required, case design, faculty, and all approved authorizations in the axiUm system.
If students need a case completed sooner than the published number of days normally required (refer to laboratory service schedule), they must obtain approval from the laboratory supervisor. Do not enter the laboratory area without permission; always check in at the receiving desk first.
To submit any case to the laboratory, the Central Business Office must certify via axiUm request that the patient has paid appropriately and must have been approved in the axiUm system.
