Hi Guest!
D5851 - tissue conditioning, mandibular
This code does not have a direct crosscode we are aware of, so you can either bill the "D" code on the medical claim (many insurers these days will process "D" codes when they are medically necessary services), or you can use the CPT codes below and include a narrative report describing the procedure:
40899 - Unlisted procedure, vestibule of mouth
Hope this helps!
