The American Dental Association's Code Maintenance Committee has revised, updated and added CDT codes for restorations and dental implants.
The committee made the changes at its annual convening March 7, according to a March 22 news release from ADA.
Here are four things for dentists to know:
- The new codes are part of CDT 2025, which will go into effect Jan. 1, 2025.
- There are 10 new codes and eight revisions in total.
- A notable revision is the change of the nomenclature and descriptor of D2940 to enable a single code to document the placement of an interim direct restoration.
- One of the new CDT 2025 codes is inclusion of codes for dermal fillers and neuromodulators.
