What is NOT typically included in the work request/prescription that a dentist sends to a dental laboratory?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Health/patient information unrelated to the prosthesis
A lab prescription needs identifying information (patient name, often as an identifier rather than full health history), the type of prosthesis, shade, material specifications, and any special instructions. Detailed unrelated personal health information is not required by — and should generally be withheld from — a dental laboratory work order, both because it isn't clinically necessary for the lab's task and for patient privacy reasons.
