Hi Guest!
41805 - removal of embedded foreign body, soft tissues
can be crosscoded to:
D7530 - removal of foreign body from mucosa, skin, or subcutaneous alveolar tissue
As for 41873 - I don't show that as a valid CPT code. Did you perhaps mean 41872 or 41874?
41872 - gingivoplasty - each quadrant
41874 - alveoloplasty, each quadrant
Now, when it comes to extractions, here are some "D" coding options for you:
D7111 - Extraction, coronal remnants - deciduous tooth
D7140 - Extraction, erupted tooth or exposed root (elevation and/or forceps removal)
D7210 - Extraction, erupted tooth requiring removal of bone and/or sectioning of tooth, and including elevation of mucoperiosteal flap if indicated
D7220 - Removal of impacted tooth - soft tissue
D7230 - Removal of impacted tooth - partially bony
D7240 - Removal of impacted tooth - completely bony
D7241 - Removal of impacted tooth - completely bony, with unusual surgical complications
D7250 - Removal of residual tooth roots (cutting procedure)
D7251 - Coronectomy – intentional partial tooth removal
Hope this helps!
