Dental check-up
Comprehensive oral examination
Last Updated: January 1Lecturer in Updent.
Overview
Comprehensive assessment and documentation of the current condition of the dentition, oral cavity, and related structures of the patient. This applies to new patients, existing patients with significant changes in their condition, and existing patients who have been absent from active treatment for two or more years. The assessment may include interpretation of information obtained through additional diagnostic procedures, which should be reported and coded separately. The process includes documenting relevant oral and medical history, as well as any other pertinent information.
