“I'm Dr. Yasmin, a dentist who got tired of staying late writing notes. I used to search the internet for note templates that actually worked, and I could never find good ones. So I built ButterNote to make note writing feel as smooth as butter.

And if you want zero clicks at all, the iOS app handles that too. Ambient listening on your iPhone or Apple Watch turns each appointment into a finished note.

When to use this template
Use this template at the cementation visit for any indirect restoration — full crown, onlay, 3/4 crown, or short-span bridge. The template assumes the case has returned from the lab and the temporary is being removed today. Document the cement type chosen (resin, RMGI, glass ionomer, zinc phosphate), as cement type affects future debonding decisions and patient expectations. The standard sequence is: temp removal → try-in → bite check → contact check → isolate → bond/cement → seat → excess removal.
Tips for using this template
- check_circleAlways document the cement type — debonding protocol depends on it years later.
- check_circleNote "excess cement removed" explicitly. Retained sub-gingival cement is the leading cause of post-cementation peri-implantitis-like inflammation.
- check_circleIf you adjusted the occlusion (which is normal), add: "Occlusal adjustment performed; high spots relieved with diamond bur and polished."
- check_circleFor aesthetic anterior crowns, add a sentence: "Patient approved final shade and shape prior to cementation."
- check_circleIf you used a try-in paste before bonding, document the brand (Variolink, Multilink, etc.) — relevant for repeat-cementation visits.
