During the treatment of a cavity on a front tooth in a single visit, the following steps are typically performed and can be reported in the Bulgarian Health Information System (НЗИС) using specific codes:
- Oral Examination An initial assessment of the oral cavity to identify and evaluate the cavity.
- Terminal Anesthesia Application of local anesthesia to numb the area around the affected tooth, ensuring a painless procedure.
- Adhesive Restoration of a Front Tooth Restoring the affected tooth with adhesive material for one surface (use 97522-01 for two surfaces or 97523-01 for three or more surfaces).
These steps ensure accurate diagnosis, pain management, and effective restoration of the tooth’s function and appearance. While the Bulgarian National Health Insurance Fund generally covers only one dental examination per year, additional reviews without a full dental status can be reported in НЗИС for each visit.
To log the review in the Bulgarian HIS, you can use the following codes:
