Note Writing Made EasyAccurate and contemporaneous patient notes are essential in dentistry. However, with time constraints in general practice this can be a real struggle to get done well.So here our answer- some baseline templates that can easily be personalized to each situation to help ensure your notes are tip-top!DISLCOSURE: Please note that templates have not been approved by a dental professional body. They have been formulated only as a guide to aid record keeping. We take no responsibility for the accuracy of the information given.?

Usually takes 3-6 months for implant to stabilise in bone before tooth can be placed and therefore may require temp bridge/denture in?meantime.?If looked after can last as long as a natural tooth. No damage or dependence on adjacent teeth. Implant immune to tooth decay but not gum?disease and therefore peri-implant mucositits/peri-implantitis can develop around implant like a natural tooth. Problematic tooth needs to removed ASAP as infection can undermine the health of?bone meaning bone graft may be required - increasing the cost.?Smoking and uncontrolled diabetes can lower success rates.2) BridgeConventional - good aesthetic option, but is quite destructive to adjacent teeth as considerable tooth preparation/reduction required resulting in long term loss of vitality (roughly 20% after 5 years), needing root canal treatment in future; also?can worsen any pre-existing periodontal problems. usual lifespan of 15-20yrs if well looked after.?Maryland (resin-bonded) bridge option explained advised can often need recementing, but little or no destruction of supporting tooth. Very good option for anterior space with healthy adjacent teeth.3) Denture (acrylic/ flexible/ chrome)Not fixed, needs to be removed to clean and left out over night - most conservative option - can take time to get used to. If immediate denture may need reline or new denture after healing - aprox 8-9mnts4) Leave spaceAdjacent teeth may drift, tilt or rotate. Opposing tooth may over-erupt into space.? No cost. No preparation/destruction of adjacent teeth.?Radiograph ReportingBitewing radiographic reportRadiographs: R&L BWJustification: IP caries detection and bone levelsBone levels: Normal/ Generalised horizontal bone loss/ Localised vertical bone lossCaries: NADPeriapical radiographic reportRadiographs: PAJustification:?
