Hi Guest!

D7270 - Tooth reimplantation and/or stabilization of accidentally evulsed or displaced tooth

In Aetna's crosswalk for "Oral Surgery Medical In Nature", the crosscode for D7270 is listed as:

21140 - Closed treatment of mandibular or maxillary alveolar ridge fracture (separate procedure)

or you can use the CPT codes below and include a narrative report describing the procedure(s):
41899 - Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures


D2335 - resin-based composite - four or more surfaces or involving incisal angle (anterior)

The code listed above 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 code below and include a narrative report describing the procedure:
41899 - Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures

Hope this helps!
