If a patient has periocoronitis on tooth 17 and the dentist burns the flap of skin off, what is the correct code? I say D7971, but the dentist insists that I code it under D7280, since operculectomy is not covered under the patient's insurance (Florida Medicaid). The dentist did not remove any bone, did not make an incision. Who is right?

I am trying to code for an immediate full implant supported hybrid denture for an upper arch and I am unsure of which codes to use. The oral surgeon will be providing the implants and multiunit abutments and I will be providing the prosthesis. I believe CDT code D6078 is for the abutment supported fixed denture. I cannot find the code for the temporary immediate prosthesis. Is there a separate code? Are there other codes I need to be using for this case? Thank you in advance!
