Introduction:
The Dental Lab Management System (DLMS) is designed to streamline the workflow
and management processes of a dental laboratory. It aims to automate various tasks
involved in managing lab operations, including order processing, inventory management,
scheduling, and reporting. This document outlines the objectives, scope, deliverables,
and timeline for the DLMS project.
Abstract
• Node JS can be used to build backend servers that handle business logic.
• To create a RESTful API that allows the frontend of the software to communicate with
the backend server.
• Can be used to integrate the billing software with external services or APIs.
• Its lightweight and efficient nature makes it suitable for building scalable applications.
2)Express JS
• Express simplifies the process of defining routes for handling different HTTP
requests.
• Express middleware allows for the execution of code logic in between receiving a
request and sending a response.
• Integrates with various template engines like EJS,Pug or Handlebars, allowing for the
dynamic generation of HTML content.
• To serve static files such as CSS,JavaScript and images which is useful for delivering
client side assets to the web browser.
• To create the structure and layout of the web page in the software.
• CSS is used to style and format the HTML elements, enhancing the visual presentation
of the software.
• HTML & CSS are employed to implement responsive design techniques , ensuring that
the software’s user interface adapts and renders optimally across different devices and
screen sizes.
• HTML & CSS interact with the presentation layer and also combine with JavaScript to
add interactivity and dynamic behavior to the software frontend.
4) Sequelize:6.33.2
• Sequelize provides methods for performing Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD)
operations on database records. Developers can use Sequelize methods like create,
findOne , findAll, update, and destroy to interact with database tables, allowing for easy
retrieval, manipulation, and deletion of data
5)Bootstrap-4.5.2
• Bootstrap provides classes to access the predefined CSS code using some CDN
(Content Delivery Network) links.
• Provides a wide range of layout components such as containers, grids, rows and
columns that facilitate the creation of structured and organized web pages.
6)npm 10.4.0
7)Jquery 3.5.1
• Used for DOM manipulation, Event Handling, Animation Effects, AJAX Interactions,
Plugin Interaction.....

1. Login Module:
The Login module is the entry point for users to access the Dental Lab Management
System (DLMS).
User Authentication: Requires users to provide valid credentials (such as username and
password) to authenticate their identity.
Access Control: Enforces role-based access control (RBAC) to determine the level of
access granted to each user based on their assigned role or permissions.
2. Dashboard:
This module serves as the main interface for users to view key information and metrics
related to the dental lab.
Users can quickly assess the overall status of the lab and navigate to other modules as
needed.
3. Clients Module:
This module is responsible for managing client information, including contact details,
billing information, and any other relevant data.
Users can perform CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) to add new clients,
view existing client details, update client information, and remove clients if necessary.
It facilitates efficient communication and interaction with clients, ensuring smooth order
processing and customer service.
4. Products Module:
This module manages the products offered by the dental lab, such as dental
prosthetics, appliances, or other customized dental products.
Users can add new products, view product details including specifications and pricing,
update product information, and remove products if needed.
5. Settings Module:
This module allows administrators to configure various settings related to the operation
of the dental lab system.
Users can perform CRUD operations to manage these settings according to the specific
requirements of the dental lab.
6. Accounting Module:
This module handles all financial transactions and accounting-related activities of the
dental lab.
It records payments received from clients, invoices issued, expenses incurred, and other
financial transactions.
7. Team Module:
This module manages information about the members of the dental lab team, including
lab technicians, administrative staff, and other personnel.
Users can add new team members, view existing team member profiles, update team
member information, and remove team members if necessary.
8. Cases Module:
This module is central to the workflow of the dental lab as it manages the individual
cases or orders received from clients.

ongoing cases, and manage case details such as specifications, deadlines, and client
preferences.
9. Invoice Module:
The Invoice module is responsible for managing the creation, distribution, and tracking
of invoices for the services provided by the dental lab.
