Chapter 6 / Face, mouth, salivary and thyroid

Charges for removal of roots should not be made in conjunction with removal of impacted teeth.


When bone grafting is used as part of treatment of a bone cyst, this should not be charged as a separate
service. Specifically the code for alveolar bone grafting is not appropriate in these circumstances.


Closure of an oro-antral fistula should not be charged in conjunction with removal of impacted
teeth/complex buried roots.
