BRIDGES

This presentation is designed to assist dental professionals in navigating the treatment plan codes for dental bridges. It outlines the specific codes for porcelain bridges (D6750 for abutments and D6240 for pontics) and full metal bridges (D6790 for abutments and D6211 for pontics), all categorized under “Fixed Prosthetics.” An essential first step is marking teeth designated as pontics as missing in the treatment plan. It emphasizes the importance of uniform status for all dental units in the bridge process and ensuring consistent dates across all units involved.
