Date/Time: [Date and time of procedure]

Provider: [Provider name and credentials]

Tooth #: [Tooth designation]

Crown Type/Material: [All-ceramic / PFM / Full gold / Zirconia / Lithium disilicate / Other]

Procedure: [New crown delivery / Re-cementation of existing crown / Implant crown delivery]

Indication and Pre-Procedure Status

[Reason for visit and indication] (State whether this is delivery of a new definitive crown from the lab, re-cementation of an existing crown, or implant crown delivery. Include any patient-reported symptoms such as sensitivity, bite issues, or looseness.)

[Status of temporary since preparation] (Document whether the temporary remained intact or was lost, any sensitivity or debonding. If not applicable, state "No temporary present.")

[Relevant medical history updates and material allergies] (Document presence or absence of material allergies relevant to crown and cement.)

[Consent statement] (State that risks, benefits, and alternatives were discussed and that consent for crown delivery/cementation was obtained.)

Anesthesia

[Local anesthesia: agent, concentration, vasoconstrictor, volume / None administered] (If nitrous oxide/oxygen sedation used, include here.)

[Patient tolerance] (Briefly state patient comfort/tolerance. If no anesthesia, may omit.)

Abutment and Crown Evaluation

  • Temporary removal: [Temporary removed and residual cement cleaned / No temporary present]
  • Abutment evaluation: [Findings regarding recurrent decay, core integrity, gingival condition]
  • Crown verification: [Crown identity confirmed for correct tooth; intaglio and contact surfaces inspected and cleaned]
  • Shade verification: [Shade confirmed] (For anterior crowns only; omit for posterior unless specifically mentioned.)

Try-In and Fit Verification

  • Seating/Margins: [Method: visual / explorer] [Crown fully seated; margins acceptable / Findings] (Use objective statements, e.g., "margins verified with explorer; no open margin detected.")
  • Internal fit: [Fit-check medium used: yes / no] [Findings and adjustments if performed]
  • Proximal contacts: [Method: floss / shimstock] [Acceptable / Tight / Open] [Adjustments: M / D / None]
  • Occlusion: [Checked in MIP and excursions; adjustments performed and polished / No adjustment needed] [Final occlusion status]
  • Radiograph: [Type: BW / PA] [Interpretation regarding seating and margins] (Only include if radiograph was taken.)
  • Esthetics/Patient approval: [Patient shown crown and approved shade/contour for cementation] (For anterior crowns only; omit for posterior unless mentioned.)

(If the crown cannot be fully seated or has unacceptable fit: document specific findings, that cementation was deferred, interim treatment provided, and follow-up plan. Do not generate subsequent sections if cementation deferred.)

Isolation and Cementation

Isolation: [Rubber dam / Cotton rolls with suction / Retraction cord]

  • Cement: [Cement category and/or product name] (Required field; do not leave blank.)
  • Tooth conditioning: [Pumice clean / Etch / Prime / Bond / None] (Specify steps performed.)
  • Restoration conditioning: [Cleaning / Air abrasion / Ceramic primer / Silane / None] (Specify as applicable to material.)
  • Seating: [Crown seated to full seating and maintained under pressure]
  • Excess cement removal: [Cement removed from margins and interproximally; floss passed freely] (For implant crowns, document circumferential cement cleanup and detection method used.)

Post-Cementation Verification

  • Margins: [Re-verified after cement set; findings]
  • Interproximal: [Floss passed without catching; no residual cement]
  • Occlusion: [Final occlusion verified; post-cement adjustments and polish if performed]
  • Radiograph: [Type: BW / PA] [Interpretation: seating, margins, cement cleanup] (Only include if taken; important for implant crowns.)
  • Tolerance/Complications: [Patient tolerated procedure well. No complications. / Complication details and management]

Post-Op Instructions and Follow-Up

  • [Sensitivity expectations and hygiene instructions given] (For implants, emphasize peri-implant hygiene.)
  • [Numbness precautions reviewed] (Include only if anesthesia administered.)
  • Follow-up: [PRN / Scheduled appointment] (For implant crowns, note peri-implant monitoring plan if applicable.)
