Create a treatment plan
A treatment plan groups planned procedures with their fees and totals, shows who prepared it, and carries an approval status (here a green tick for an approved plan) plus sign and print actions. A treatment plan turns a set of planned procedures into a single, presentable proposal for the patient — itemised, priced and totalled…

Record a completed procedure
A patient’s treatment history showing procedures across their lifecycle — scheduled, started and completed dates, the tooth, diagnosis, treating doctor and status. Once a procedure is planned, CAPS28 walks it through to completion in a way that keeps both the clinical record and the patient’s account correct at every step. This guide covers starting a…

Diagnosis & procedure masters
Every procedure you chart draws on three pieces of reference data: a diagnosis code, a procedure code, and a fee. Understanding these masters helps you chart faster and keeps your records standardised and your pricing consistent. Diagnosis codes Diagnoses use standard ICD-10 codes — for example K02.52 (dental caries penetrating into dentin), K04.0 (pulpitis) or…

Lab vendors & work types
Office → Laboratory: two collapsible masters — Labwork Type and Dental Laboratories — that feed the dropdowns on every lab order. Before you can raise a lab order, CAPS28 needs to know which laboratories you work with and what kinds of work you send them. Both lists are maintained once, in clinic setup, and then…

Accounts overview
The Accounts Summary: money received and charged on the patient side, and money received and paid across the clinic’s other account heads, for any date range. The Accounts module is the clinic’s book-keeping: it tracks every rupee that comes in and goes out, both from patients and from the running of the practice. It has…
