Specialized comprehensive examination
Last Updated: January 1Lecturer in Updent.
Overview
Consultation with a patient referred by another physician or dentist for the purpose of providing an opinion or treatment for a specific dental problem. The consultation does not necessarily have to be performed by a specialist. The consultant must prepare and send a written report to the referring physician, which is also included within the scope of this code.
