CPT® Code 41825

The procedure described by CPT® Code 41825 involves the excision of a lesion or tumor located in the dentoalveolar structures, which are the parts of the jaw that support the teeth. This procedure is specifically performed without any subsequent repair of the excised area. Lesions or tumors in this context refer to abnormal growths that may be benign or malignant and can occur in the gums or surrounding tissues. The excision is a surgical intervention aimed at removing these growths to alleviate symptoms, prevent further complications, or for diagnostic purposes. It is important to note that if the excision is followed by a simple repair, CPT® Code 41826 should be used, and if a complex repair is necessary, CPT® Code 41827 is applicable. This distinction is crucial for accurate coding and billing, as it reflects the complexity of the procedure performed following the excision.
