CPT® Code 41822

The procedure described by CPT® Code 41822 involves the excision of fibrous tuberosities located within the dentoalveolar structures of the mouth. Fibrous tuberosities are abnormal growths of fibrous bone tissue that can develop in the gums, often resulting in discomfort or complications related to dental health. The excision process entails the surgical removal of these growths to alleviate symptoms, improve oral function, and enhance the overall health of the periodontal tissues. This procedure is typically performed by dental professionals, such as oral surgeons or periodontists, who specialize in the treatment of conditions affecting the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. The goal of the excision is to ensure that the affected area is free from abnormal tissue, thereby promoting healing and preventing further complications associated with the presence of fibrous tuberosities.
