CDT Code for Dental Gold Teeth Restorations

Gold foil is one of the oldest forms of dental treatment available for repairing cavities. A gold foil restoration is generally a filling technique of decayed teeth that exploits the properties of gold being welded in its cold state, owing to its cohesive nature and biocompatible nature as it is an inert metal since it is readily accepted by the oral tissues. 

D2410: This code is used to bill for gold foil, one surface. In this technique, dentists would take the gold leaf and put sheets of gold into the cavity.
