OPS-Code 5-232.32:
Removal and restoration of teeth: Dental restoration by filling: Buildup filling: Multiple teeth from a jaw
You had several dental fillings.
Every tooth consists of 3 sections: the crown, the tooth neck (cervix) and the tooth root. The crown is the visible part of the tooth. The tooth neck is covered by the gums. The tooth root keeps the tooth in the jawbone.
You had a dental onlay procedure for several of your teeth. This type of filling is used if a large portion of the crown of the tooth needs to be replaced. The onlay restores the shape of the crown of the tooth.
Additional indicator
