In a grid-down scenario, correct diagnosis is everything. Treating the wrong tooth wastes supplies and patient tolerance. This module walks through the examination sequence — chief complaint, visual inspection, percussion, thermal testing, and charting — so you identify the problem tooth before you touch an instrument. Primary references: Murray Dickson's Where There Is No Dentist and the Special Operations Forces Medical Handbook dental protocols.
ALLERGY CHECK REQUIRED: Always ask about allergy to local anesthetics before injection. Ask specifically about reaction to dental injections in the past — not just general drug allergies. If allergy is present or suspected, do not inject. Proceed with maximum non-injectable pain control and consider whether the procedure can be delayed.
Two nerve blocks cover the vast majority of field dental procedures. The inferior alveolar nerve block anesthetizes all lower teeth on one side plus the lower lip and chin. The posterior superior alveolar block anesthetizes upper molars. Infiltration injections handle upper front teeth. Lidocaine 2% with 1:100,000 epinephrine is the standard agent — the epinephrine prolongs effect and reduces bleeding. Without epinephrine, duration is significantly shorter.
A temporary restoration does two things: relieves sensitivity by sealing exposed dentin, and prevents progression by blocking bacteria from reaching or advancing toward the pulp. In a grid-down scenario, a well-placed temporary restoration can keep a tooth functional for months. The most field-practical material is zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE) cement — it is soothing to the pulp, antibacterial, and easy to mix and place without electricity.
For fractured teeth with exposed dentin (sensitivity to air and cold but no spontaneous pain), the treatment is the same — dry the exposed area and seal with ZOE cement. For fractured teeth with exposed pulp (a tiny pink dot visible in the fracture — the patient has severe pain to any stimulus), seal with ZOE immediately as a palliative measure and plan for extraction. A pulp exposure in a grid-down setting has no field-viable treatment other than extraction.
AIRWAY THREAT — KNOW THESE SIGNS: Difficulty swallowing, difficulty opening the mouth (trismus), swelling extending to the floor of the mouth or the neck, fever above 101°F, the patient appears systemically ill (chills, rapid pulse, sweating). These indicate spreading infection — Ludwig's angina or deep space infection. This is a life-threatening emergency. Immediate extraction of the source tooth, high-dose IV antibiotics if available, and evacuation to surgical care if possible.
Extraction is the definitive field treatment for irreversible pulpitis, necrotic teeth, and unresolvable abscesses. Done correctly, it is a safe and effective procedure. Done incorrectly — inadequate anesthesia, wrong instrument technique, or failure to manage the socket — it creates complications that are far worse than the original tooth. Take your time. Adequate anesthesia is not optional.
Dry socket occurs when the blood clot dislodges or fails to form, exposing bare bone. It presents 3–5 days post-extraction with severe, throbbing pain that radiates to the ear or temple — distinctly worse than expected post-extraction soreness. Visual inspection shows an empty socket with exposed whitish bone rather than a dark blood clot. Treatment: gently irrigate the socket with saline, then pack with iodoform gauze soaked in ZOE or clove oil. Replace packing every 24–48 hours until pain resolves. Dry socket is painful but not dangerous — it resolves with time and local dressing.
Dental supply planning follows the same tiered logic as medical supply planning. Tier 1 is what every individual carries. Tier 2 is the group first aid kit. Tier 3 is the community clinic cache — positioned for extended operations when resupply is unavailable. Document your current inventory in each tier below and note gaps.
More than one person in your group should have basic dental first aid skills. If your primary dental responder is incapacitated, someone else needs to know how to pack a socket, place a temporary restoration, and recognize a spreading infection. Document training by member so you know who can do what.
Print and laminate the reference cards for your dental kit, or print the Full Field Reference for a 3-ring binder. A reference in your hands is worth more than a perfect module on a dead device. Each button opens your print dialog — choose a printer or Save as PDF to keep a digital copy.
Step-by-step extraction checklist, post-op instructions, and dry socket management. Single laminated card for the dental kit.
Abscess recognition guide, airway threat warning signs, antibiotic dosing quick reference. For group members to recognize when a dental problem has become an emergency.
Complete tiered supply list for Tier 1, 2, and 3 caches with your inventory notes. Use for restocking and procurement planning.
Everything in one document for your 3-ring binder — examination, anesthesia, restorations, abscess management, extraction, the tiered supply list (with your notes), and the group training log. Patient records are deliberately excluded and print individually from the Treatment Log.
Treatment Log case records are not part of the binder reference and never print in bulk. Open Module 08 · Treatment Log and use the 🖶 PRINT button on a case to print that single patient record for filing in that patient's medical folder.
This manual assumes you have never opened IVORY before. It explains every screen in order. Work through it the first time, then use the table of contents to jump to what you need. Hover any underlined term on screen for its meaning.
IVORY does two jobs. First, it is a field reference: step-by-step protocols for the dental emergencies most likely to take a group member out of action when no dentist is available — a raging toothache, a broken tooth, an abscess, a tooth that has to come out. Second, it is a record keeper: it tracks your dental supplies, who in your group has been trained, and a log of every procedure performed.
The program covers, in order:
Everything in IVORY is for austere conditions only — a long grid-down event where a dentist and a real clinic are simply not reachable. The first time you open the module, a notice appears. Type your name or callsign, check the box, and acknowledge it. That acknowledgment is stamped with the date and time and shown in the footer.
You can re-show or reset the notice later. See Saving, backups & settings.
The screen has three fixed parts and one big working area. The left sidebar is your menu. The top bar shows the module name and the way back to the Command Suite. The main area in the middle is whatever module you have open. The footer shows your acknowledgment.
To move around, click an item in the left menu. The open module is highlighted in green. Most reference modules (01–05) are read-only protocols. The records modules (06–08) and the outputs have buttons that save your data or print.
You do not have to set anything up to use IVORY as a reference — the protocols are ready immediately. But fifteen minutes now makes it far more useful in a crisis.
This module is the examination sequence: chief complaint, visual inspection, percussion, thermal testing, and charting. The goal is to identify the one problem tooth and decide whether it can be saved before you touch an instrument.
The bottom of the module has a Diagnosis Decision Guide that sorts the common findings into four buckets — reversible pulpitis (save it), irreversible pulpitis (extract), necrotic/abscess (extract + antibiotics), and periodontal abscess (drain). Match what you see to the closest bucket.
Two nerve blocks cover most field dental work. The IAN block numbs the lower jaw on one side. The PSA block plus simple infiltration handles the upper teeth. The module walks each one through landmark, needle approach, aspiration, and injection.
Standard agent is lidocaine 2% with epinephrine. The reference notes at the bottom cover dose limits, the plain-lidocaine option, what to do when a block fails, and toxic-reaction signs.
A temporary filling relieves sensitivity and stops a cavity from getting worse. The field-practical material is ZOE cement. The module covers cavity preparation (no drill needed — a spoon excavator removes soft decay), mixing the cement to the right consistency, placing and carving it, and post-op instructions.
The module also covers fractured teeth, including the difference between exposed dentin (seal it) and an exposed pulp (seal as a stopgap, plan for extraction).
This module covers recognizing an abscess, draining it, choosing an antibiotic, and — most important — spotting when an infection has become a life threat.
For a soft, fluid-filled (fluctuant) abscess, the module gives the drainage technique: anesthetize around the infection, incise at the lowest point, irrigate, and place a drain if needed. Antibiotic selection lists amoxicillin first, clindamycin for penicillin allergy, and Augmentin for severe spread. The standing rule: antibiotics buy time; the tooth still has to come out.
Extraction is the definitive field treatment for a tooth that cannot be saved. The module opens with a pre-extraction checklist — right tooth confirmed, anesthesia confirmed, ten-minute wait, instruments laid out — then walks the procedure: luxate with the elevator, seat the forceps on the root, controlled socket-expanding movement, delivery, and socket management.
Post-extraction instructions for the patient and a section on dry socket round out the module. Record every extraction in the Treatment Log.
Dental supplies follow the same tiered logic as medical supplies. Tier 1 is personal carry (fits in an IFAK). Tier 2 is the group responder's kit. Tier 3 is the community clinic cache for extended operations. Each tier lists standard contents; below each is a notes box where you record what you actually have, gaps, and expiration dates.
Type into the notes boxes and click SAVE INVENTORY NOTES. Your notes are included when you print the Supply List or the Full Field Reference.
More than one person in your group should have basic dental skills. If the primary responder is hurt or away, someone else needs to be able to pack a socket or recognize spreading infection. Click ADD MEMBER, enter a callsign and role, and check off the skills that member has completed. Notes can record dates and source material.
The training log is group-readiness data, not patient data — it is included in the Full Field Reference binder print.
Module 08 keeps one record per patient, organized by name. A record holds the person's demographics, allergies, current medications, medical alerts, and a list of every visit. Open a record and all of that history is inside it.
The first time you open Module 08 it asks the boss to create the vault: set a suite-wide Master password (8+ characters) and record the one-time recovery key it shows you — use 🔶 PRINT KEY CARD or write it down. Store that key offline; it is the only way back in if every password is lost, and it is shown only once.
You are then offered the optional JWBuild rescue choice. NO (the default) means only you can ever unlock the records. YES saves a locked rescue file on this computer only — it cannot open anything by itself, but if you ever lose both passwords and the key card, you can send it to JWBuild, verify you are the license owner, and receive a one-time unlock code. Either way, nothing is ever transmitted. Change your choice later with the 🛡 RESCUE button while the records are open.
All three open the same records; setting an operator password does not re-encrypt anything, and the Master always still works.
If rescue was enabled at setup, the lock screen shows 🛡 JWBUILD RESCUE (last resort). Download the rescue file, email it to JWBuild support with your WATCHMAN license key, and after identity verification you receive a one-time unlock code. Entering it opens the records once and immediately forces a new Master password and a new recovery key card — the emailed code can never open anything again, and the operator password must be set again afterward. If rescue was declined and both passwords and the key card are gone, the records are unrecoverable by design.
Open a patient and press + NEW VISIT. Pick the visit type first — routine exam, problem visit, follow-up, or trauma — and the form walks you through what that visit needs: structured exam findings (pain triggers, lingering pain, percussion, mobility, swelling, sinus tract), a gums and soft-tissue assessment (calculus, gum disease extent and severity, an oral-cancer soft-tissue check), diagnosis and procedure, an anesthetic safety block with pre-op vitals and a weight-based maximum-dose warning, medications, outcome, and a follow-up date that flags the patient for recall on the roster. Every patient record also carries a tap-to-chart tooth diagram (SF 603 style) that tracks the status of all 32 teeth over time. Allergies and medications are tracked at the patient level, and the app warns you if you prescribe something the patient is allergic to.
Printing a record: each patient has a ⏎ PRINT button. It prints only that one patient, with allergies, medications, medical alerts, and the full visit history, formatted for that person's folder. Patient records never print in bulk and are deliberately excluded from the binder reference — one patient, one printout.
The Print Outputs screen has four reference outputs. Click any button and your print dialog opens — pick a printer or choose Save as PDF.
The Full Field Reference compiles the clinical protocols (examination, anesthesia, restorations, abscess, extraction), the tiered supply list with your notes, and the group training log — the reference material a binder should hold.
IVORY saves your data automatically to this device's browser storage (key ao_ivory_v1). Nothing leaves the machine. There is no cloud and no account.
IVORY uses the standard US Universal Numbering System. Teeth are numbered 1–32 starting at the upper-right last molar, across the top to the upper-left, then down and back across the bottom. Record the number in the Treatment Log so you never confuse teeth on a return visit.
| IAN block | Inferior Alveolar Nerve block — numbs the entire lower jaw on one side plus lip and chin. |
| PSA block | Posterior Superior Alveolar block — numbs the upper molars. |
| ZOE | Zinc Oxide Eugenol — soothing, antibacterial dental cement used for temporary fillings; mixes and sets without power. |
| Pulpitis | Inflammation of the tooth's nerve. Reversible = savable. Irreversible = the nerve is dying; the tooth will abscess. |
| Necrotic | Dead pulp. The tooth no longer responds to cold and is heading toward (or already has) an abscess. |
| Abscess | A pocket of infection at the root or in the gum. May drain through a small gum pimple (sinus tract). |
| Fluctuant | Soft and fluid-filled when pressed — pus has collected and can be drained. |
| Cellulitis | Firm, diffuse swelling with no soft spot — infection spreading through tissue. Do not incise; antibiotics first. |
| Luxate | To loosen a tooth in its socket with an elevator before applying forceps. |
| Dry socket | Loss of the protective clot after extraction, exposing bone. Severe pain 3–5 days out; treated with medicated packing. |
| IFAK | Individual First Aid Kit — the small personal kit each person carries (your Tier 1 dental items live here). |
| OPSEC | Operational Security — keeping sensitive details (like patient identities) protected. Use callsigns in records. |
No — IVORY is written for prepared laypeople, drawing on field references like Where There Is No Dentist. But reading a protocol is not the same as practicing it. Train on the skills in calm times (Module 07 tracks who has).
By design. Patient records are individual files. Printing them in bulk would put everyone's medical history into one document — bad for both filing and OPSEC. Print each case from its own 🖶 PRINT button.
Everything is stored locally in this device's browser storage and nothing is uploaded. Patient records (Module 08) go a step further: they are encrypted with AES-256-GCM and stay locked behind a password. Export a backup file to move the rest of your data or keep a copy.
Allow pop-ups for this page. The print outputs open in a new window that triggers your print dialog. If it is blocked, your browser will show a pop-up notice you can approve.
The dark/light theme is shared suite-wide: change it once in the gear (⚙) settings and every WATCHMAN module follows. The dental protocols themselves are fixed reference content and do not change with the theme.
IVORY ships with a demo sandbox — a separate copy pre-loaded with a worked example: a stocked three-tier supply inventory with noted gaps, two trainees at different skill levels, and a treatment log with three cases (an extraction, a temporary restoration, and an abscess drainage still marked ongoing).
Opening and leaving. In the live module, click DEMO in the sidebar under this manual. Inside the demo, that same slot reads RETURN TO LIVE and takes you back. The amber DEMO BUILD badge in the top bar tells you which copy you are in.
Your real data is safe. The demo keeps everything in separate storage slots, including its own encrypted patient records vault, its own rescue file, and its own auto-lock timer. Nothing you do in the demo — adding patients, setting passwords, enabling rescue, clearing data — can touch your real records.
Practice the encryption ceremony. The demo is the safe place to walk through the full Module 08 setup: master password, the recovery key card, and the optional JWBuild rescue choice. Do it once in the demo before doing it for real. A rescue file downloaded from the demo is named with DEMO so it can never be mistaken for a real rescue request.
Resetting. The ⟲ RESET DEMO button in the top bar wipes all demo data — including any password you set in the demo — and restores the clean sample sandbox.

IVORY contains protocols for field dental care including tooth extraction, abscess drainage, local anesthesia, and temporary restorations. This information is intended exclusively for use in prolonged grid-down or austere emergency scenarios where a licensed dentist and modern dental facilities are unavailable. It is not a substitute for professional dental training or licensed dental care.
This module does not constitute dental or medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. No provider-patient relationship is created by its use. The information presented is drawn from field medicine references and is intended for prepared laypeople — not as a substitute for licensed professional care. If professional care is available, seek it.
The decisions you make and the actions you take are entirely your own. WATCHMAN, its authors, and its developers accept no liability for outcomes resulting from the application of any information contained in this module.
