[SYSTEM INSTRUCTION: You are a medical AI scribe applying an Instruction Layer. 1. Identify any 'Meta Directions' (formatting instructions, corrections, ignore-rules, or section-creation rules) dictated by the doctor. 2. Do NOT treat Meta Directions as clinical facts. Instead, use them as strict rules to shape the final note. 3. Apply formatting instructions (e.g., bullet points, conciseness). 4. Apply correction instructions (e.g., overriding a pain score or symptom). If there are conflicting facts/instructions, follow the LATEST applicable Meta Direction. 5. Apply ignore instructions (e.g., omit specific brand names). 6. Move information to the section explicitly requested. If requested to place information in 'Procedure', 'Internal Notes', 'Orders/Follow-up', 'Coding', etc., you MUST dynamically create those sections in your output if they aren't in the standard template. 7. Do not invent unsupported clinical information. Preserve existing normal dictation behavior. 8. Output all detected Meta Directions as a JSON list of strings within a [[META_DIRECTIONS_START]]...[[META_DIRECTIONS_END]] block at the very end of your response.
9. If the transcript explicitly states 'The clinical notes are' (or similar), you MUST use ONLY that explicitly dictated content to fully fill out the clinical note sections. Additionally, if explicit dictation for CLINICAL NOTES is detected, you MUST append the following exact block to the very end of your response:
[[SUGGESTED_BY_DOCTOR_START]]
<exact dictated text for the clinical notes>
[[SUGGESTED_BY_DOCTOR_END]]
The text inside the delimiters MUST be a VERBATIM, character-for-character copy from the transcript. Do NOT fix typos, do NOT reformat, and do NOT correct medical terms. Do NOT output 'Suggested by Doctor:' in the main text. Do NOT extract dictated text for other sections like summary, orders, or coding.]

[TRANSCRIPT]
Doctor: Good morning, John Smith. What brings you into the office today?
Patient: Good morning, Dr. Davis. I have been having some pain in my lower left jaw. It started about three days ago.
Doctor: I'm sorry to hear that. Can you tell me exactly where it hurts?
Patient: It feels like it's one of my back teeth on the left side. It really hurts when I drink cold water or hot coffee.
Doctor: Does it hurt when you bite down on food?
Patient: Yes, it strokes a beat after I eat something hard or crunchy.
Doctor: On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate the pain?
Patient: It's about a 6 when I drink something cold, but normally it's just a dull ache, maybe a 3.
Doctor: Okay, are you taking any medications for the pain?
Patient: Just some over-the-counter Tylenol which helps a little bit.
Doctor: Any changes in your general medical history since your last visit? Any new medications or allergies?
Patient: No, everything is the same. I am just taking my daily multivitamin. Just as a reminder, I am allergic to penicillin, latex, and codeine.
Doctor: Also just to update our records, could you confirm your date of birth, age, gender, height, and weight?
Patient: Sure, my date of birth is 1 1 1999, making me 27 years old. I am male. My height is 180 centimeters and I weigh about 75 kg. My phone number is 555 8675 309.
Doctor: Perfect. Thank you. Let's review your background quickly. Any family history of dental or medical issues?
Patient: Yes, my father had severe periodontitis and Type 2 diabetes and my mother had early tooth loss.
Doctor: Okay noted. And for social history, do you smoke or drink alcohol?
Patient: I don't smoke but I occasionally drink alcohol. Maybe one or two beers on the weekend.
Doctor: How about the past medical history? Have you had any surgeries or major illness?
Patient: I had an appendectomy when I was 15 and I have mild hypertension that is managed by diet.
Doctor: Understood. Let me also confirm your insurance. We have you under Delta Dental PPO with the authorization already approved for potential restorative work today. Authorization number 012345.
Patient: Yes, that is correct.
Doctor: Great. And for our records, the primary diagnostic codes we're looking at today are K02.9 for dental caries and K04.01 for reversible pulpitis. Let's take a look. Lean back for me, open wide.
Patient: I see some decay on your lower left first molar, tooth number 19.
Doctor: Yes, that's a bit sensitive. Okay, I want to take a quick x-ray of that area to see how deep the decay goes. It will help us decide the best course of action.
Patient: Okay, sounds good.
Doctor: The x-ray shows that you have a cavity on tooth number 19. The decay has not reached the nerve of the tooth, so a root canal is not indicated at this time. A standard composite filling should take care of it.
Patient: That's a relief. Can we do that today?
Doctor: Yes, we have time right now. I will numb the area first with local anesthetic so you won't feel a thing during the procedure.
Doctor: The patient is currently reporting pain as a six with cold stimuli and approximately a three at baseline. Actually, correction: document the baseline pain as a two to three out of ten rather than exactly three. Also, ignore my earlier statement that the patient has pain specifically with hot coffee. Keep the cold sensitivity and pain with chewing, but do not include the hot beverage detail in the final subjective section.
Patient: Okay.
Doctor: I will apply topical numbing gel first and then we will administer the local anesthetic and allow a few minutes for it to take effect. While generating the note, put the subjective findings into bullet points. Include the patient's reported symptoms, durations, aggravating factors, and pain severity under 'Subjective'. Do not put the doctor's examination findings in that section.
Patient: I understood.
Doctor: The local anesthetic has taken effect. We will proceed with the restoration. The decay is on the mesial and occlusal surface of tooth number 19. Put the tooth number and restoration surfaces in the procedure section, not the assessment.
Doctor: The procedure is now complete. The filling looks good and the patient's bite appears even.
Patient: Just very numb, but otherwise fine.
Doctor: Document that the patient tolerated the procedure well. Add a note to the internal notes that the patient handled the procedure well, no anxiety was observed. Actually, change the instructions slightly: say that no significant anxiety was observed rather than saying there was absolutely no anxiety. The numbness should last approximately two or three hours. The patient was instructed to avoid biting the lips, cheeks, or tongue while numb and to avoid chewing on the left side until sensation returns. Put those instructions under the post-operative instruction section.
Patient: I will.
Doctor: The patient may experience mild cold sensitivity for a few days after the restoration. If symptoms worsen or do not resolve within a week, the patient should contact the office. Keep that information in the plan and do not place it in the subjective section. Now generate a concise assessment and plan based on the information documented so far. Use a paragraph for the assessment. Actually, make that a short bullet list instead. Keep the assessment to no more than three bullets. The patient was diagnosed with reversible pulpitis associated with caries on tooth number 19 with a normal periapical finding. Make sure the pulpal diagnosis and periapical diagnosis remain in the assessment. The medical history was reviewed. There are no reported changes except noting the patient's known allergies to penicillin, latex, and codeine. No contraindications identified for today's treatment. Do not interpret the patient's daily multivitamin as a new medication or a medical history change. The patient received one carpule of 2% local anesthetic with epinephrine followed by an enamel composite restoration on tooth number 19. Do not include the exact brand name of any anesthetic or numbing product even if it appears elsewhere in the transcript. Keep the medication information in the procedure section. The transcript tolerated the procedure well. Move that statement to the internal notes instead of the assessment. The patient was given post-operative instructions regarding numbness, avoiding chewing on the treated side, and monitoring sensitivity. Include those instructions in the plan. For the follow-up, schedule the patient for a six-month recall for a periodic oral evaluation and prophylaxis. Put the six-month recall in the orders for follow-up section, not in the assessment. The applicable procedure codes are D2392 for resin-based composite two-surface posterior and D0220 for the first intraoral periapical radiographic image. Keep the procedure codes in the coding section and do not replace them in the clinical assessment. One more instruction: do not add any clinical findings that were not actually stated or supported by the encounter. Use the patient's actual reported information and the documented examination findings only.
Patient: Thanks, Dr. Davis.
Doctor: You are welcome. We will see you at your next regular checkup in six months.
Patient: See you then. Bye.
Doctor: Goodbye.
