Detailed Dental New Consult

CC

["CC:" chief complaint, describe in detail the primary concern or symptom reported by the patient as verbatim. There may be more than one chief concerns.] [Describe history of cc in as few bullet points as possible and include following details only if discussed: Tooth/teeth involved, onset, symptoms eg pain, sensitivity (cold, hot, biting), swelling, food trap, severity (mild/moderate/severe), scale out of 10, duration and progression, provoking / relieving factors, previous treatment and dates (if applicable) Recent dental treatment, relevant prior imaging Any changes to medical history - medications, allergies, systemic conditions (diabetes, cardiovascular, etc.), pregnancy status if applicable, no changes reported / changes documented Social / Functional Notes (if relevant) - Bruxism, clenching, grinding, occupation or habits affecting dentition ]

Clinical Findings

[Describe any clinical findings. Omit subheadings if not discussed. Extraoral / TMJ, Facial symmetry, Lymph nodes TMJ: clicking, tenderness, deviation, ROM, Musculature tenderness (if noted) Intraoral Soft Tissue Exam Gingiva (generalized/localized inflammation) Periodontal Assessment - Generalized / localized probing depths, Bleeding on probing (BOP), Recession areas, Furcation involvement, Mobility (by tooth number if present), Periodontal diagnosis (health / gingivitis / periodontitis stage & grade if applicable) Hard Tissue Exam (Tooth-by-Tooth Findings) Document clearly by tooth number, using concise but specific language: Existing restorations (type and condition), Caries (location, depth estimation), Fractures, cracks, wear facets, Occlusal issues, open margins / overhangs, Missing teeth, Example formatting (no bullet): 18DB existing composite restoration, intact 17MO caries into dentin, pulpal proximity, asymptomatic 16RCT with amalgam core; PARL present but showing signs of healing 15–14RCT with splinted PFM crowns; bulbous margins; 15 PARL noted 24 pevious RCT with screw post and composite buildup; fractured soon after placement; recurrent caries noted today Q[Quadrant Number] normal to percussion. Q[Quadrant Number] normal to palpation except [specific tooth/area]. Q[Quadrant Number] normal to mobility/probing. Q[Quadrant Number] negative to ice stick except [specific tooth/area]. Q[Quadrant Number] negative to endo ice except [specific tooth/area]. Updated BW/PA/pan/CBCT w/ pt permission (if applicable), radiographic Findings (Periapical radiolucencies - size, change over time, Bone levels, decal/caries. comparison to previous images (date if known), Photos/scan impressions taken]

Diagnosis

[State the diagnosis, including affected tooth/teeth number, condition (periodontal eg perio abscess. Biomechanical eg carious or non-carious fracture into enamel/dentin/pulpal exposure. Pulpal e.g., reversible pulpitis, irreversible pulpitis, necrotic w/symptomatic apical periodontitis, necrotic w/ asymptomatic apical periodontitis, previous RCT, etc), and any contributing factors such as trauma. Each issue should be clearly identified and clinically reasoned. Occlusal or functional concerns Example: 17MO caries with pulpal proximity; currently asymptomatic 15–14 splinted PFM crowns with marginal discrepancy and PARL, symptomatic apical periodontitis 13 perio-endo lesion, localized 5mm probing along B 11 suspected VRF - poor to hopeless prognosis 24 fractured post-core with recurrent caries; guarded restorative prognosis ]

Prognosis and Recommendations

[Provide the prognosis for the affected tooth/teeth, including any challenges or risks associated with treatment. Outline the recommended treatment plan, including additional imaging eg PA, CBCT, pulp vitality testing, caries excavation to assess restorability, and/or procedures such as root canal therapy (RCT), core buildup, crown placement, or provisional restorations. Mention any referrals made and the rationale for the referral. Example: Tooth 24: Discussed removal of existing restoration and post to assess restorability. Reviewed potential need for crown lengthening, new post/core, crown, or extraction if non-restorable. ]

Patient Preferences and Consultations

[Document any patient preferences regarding treatment or provider, as well as any consultations with other dental professionals. Include the outcome of these discussions and any referrals sent.] [line break here] "NA:"
