00:05 · Assistant: “Blood pressure 122 over 78, pulse 72.”
00:18 · Dentist: “Any changes to your health?” Patient: “I had wrist surgery six weeks ago. Otherwise I'm healthy.”
00:40 · Patient: “My upper left tooth hurts with cold. It started about two weeks ago.”
00:58 · Dentist: “Does it linger after the cold is gone?” Patient: “No, it goes away in a few seconds.”
01:30 · Dentist: “Number 14 has a large old amalgam with a crack line on the mesial marginal ridge. Cold is sharp and doesn't linger. Percussion is negative. Bite test is positive on the MB cusp.”
02:05 · Dentist: “No decay under the filling on the bitewing. This looks like a cracked tooth. I'd recommend a crown before the crack goes further. An onlay is another option.”
02:30 · Patient: “Let's do the crown.”

Your order.
Vitals, medical status, chief complaint, findings, radiographs, plan and procedure. Each draft follows the order you chart in.
What was said.
Each line of the draft comes from the conversation. Findings and diagnoses appear as the dentist stated them.
What was not.
Probing, a TMJ exam, the crown material: anything not said is marked not captured, for you to add.
Capture
Close to the conversation.
The proposed first path is your phone, close to the speaker. The Vault necklace may make placement more convenient: clipped to a gown pocket, as here, or worn on a chain.

Questions
Does Vault write my final note?
Vault is being built to prepare a draft from recorded and clinician-added information. You check the source, add missing details, edit the draft and decide what becomes the final clinical note.
Does Vault file notes into my practice software?
Direct filing integrations are not promised here. The proposed initial workflow is to review the draft, then copy or export it into your practice software through the practice-approved process.
Will it work around suction, drills and other voices?
Clear audio matters. A microphone close to the dentist may help, but distance, masks, equipment noise and overlapping voices can affect capture. Operatory performance is being tested; Vault does not promise perfect transcription.
How is patient information handled?
The full answer lives on Privacy and trust.
