Post-surgical complications often bring challenges for dental professionals. Dental bone spicule removal is one of the critical procedures that demand accuracy, expertise, and precise medical coding. Among them, the dental bone spicule removal code stands out as one of the most critical procedures that demand precision and meticulous documentation.
At Capline Dental Services, we clarify the CDT code for bony spicule removal. We provide valuable insights to help dental practitioners ensure accurate coding and optimal patient care.
D7310: Alveoloplasty in conjunction with extractions –four or more teeth or tooth spaces, per quadrant. It is used when bone recontouring is performed involving 4 or more teeth.
D7311: Alveoloplasty in conjunction with extractions –one to three teeth or tooth spaces, per quadrant. The two codes used above are when the alveoloplasty is a distinct surgical procedure from other surgical extractions. This is for situations where alveoloplasty is performed during extractions and involves one to three teeth or tooth spaces.
D7320: Alveoloplasty not in conjunction with extractions - four or more teeth or tooth spaces, per quadrant. This applies when alveoloplasty is performed separately and involves four or more teeth or tooth spaces.
D7321: Alveoloplasty not in conjunction with extractions - one to three teeth or tooth spaces, per quadrant. This is for cases where alveoloplasty is not part of an extraction procedure and involves one to three teeth or tooth spaces.
These codes ensure procedures are properly documented, whether performed alongside extractions or as standalone interventions.
