Hi Guest!

D2335
- resin-based composite - four or more surfaces or involving incisal angle (anterior)
D2391 - Resin Based composite
D2392 - resin-based composite - two surfaces, posterior

The codes listed above do not have direct crosscodes we are aware of, so you can either bill the "D" code on the medical claim (many insurers these days will process "D" codes when they are medically necessary services), or you can try the CPT code below and include a narrative report describing the procedure:
41899 - Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures

Hope this helps!
