Sample input
Patient context: My patient wants to preserve tooth 30 if possible, is anxious about pain, and wants to know how many visits treatment may take. Clinical facts: Fractured existing restoration, recurrent distal decay, cold sensitivity without lingering pain, and documented pulpal testing. Visuals: Today's bitewing, an intraoral photograph, and a tooth diagram. Options: Crown if restorable, possible endodontic treatment if clinically indicated, or extraction if the tooth can't be predictably restored. Estimate status: Draft or awaiting verification. Handoff notes: Benefit verification is pending. The patient asked about monthly payments. Scheduling needs to confirm the next two-hour opening.
