Dental Codes and Descriptions
Primary Dental Codes - One or more codes must be entered for each tooth.

Code	Description
V	Virgin. Tooth is present and unrestored. This includes unerupted teeth such as wisdom or deciduous teeth.
/	A portion of the tooth is remaining and treatment has probably been accomplished on the tooth but it is impossible to determine which surfaces have been restored. This code is most frequently used when a tooth has had an endodontic procedure accomplished and the clinical crown has fractured off. This code is seldom used in coding missing persons dental information.
X	Missing. Tooth has been extracted or is congenitally missing.
M	Mesial surface of the tooth has been restored.
O	Occlusal or Incisal surface of the tooth has been restored.
D	Distal surface of the tooth has been restored.

L	Lingual surface of the tooth has been restored.

Secondary Dental Codes - Cannot be used independently. Must be used in conjunction with Primary codes.

Code	Description
C	Any laboratory processed restoration including crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers. This code also includes prefabricated restorations such as stainless steel crowns, metal and acrylic temporary crowns, and porcelain processed veneers.
R	Root canal. Evidence is available to establish that an endodontic procedure has been started or completed.
