Patient presents for extraction of tooth #32. Dentist is able to remove coronal portion, but unable to remove roots. Also, surgical handpiece used to remove bone. Patient is coming back in 3-4 weeks to try and get roots removed. How should we code this visit?
DD9951 is not for post care work of a crown.
There are no restriction to bill these two codes together for the same DOS. However, you want to make sure you are include supporting documentation as to why you performed both procedures on the same day and the time involved. Make sure to include chart notes that document BOTH planning and scaling were performed, not just scaling. Indicate the patient has active perio disease and is in active perio treatment, include their perio condition Class I,II,III. Provide 1-3 teeth numbers for each quadrant planned and scaled, Document the remaining quadrants were not planned or scaled, that plaque, calculus and stains were removed for the remaining quads. Include perio chart, and FMX along with current BWXs if possible.
Or is this procedure inclusive to the surgical extraction?
Has this code been replaced? Need to remove bone in the area of 22 and 29. What do I use?
Extraction of primary tooth #t was done and impression for space maintainer will be done at next visit.
What is the CDT code for uprighting a tooth specifically a 2nd molar? I believe there are 2 codes associated.
