The entire body system was revised at 59 FR 2529, Jan. 18, 1994.
-
New diagnostic codes for loss of more than half of the maxilla (9914), loss of half or less of the maxilla (9915), and malunion or nonunion of the maxilla (9916) were added. The previous diagnostic code for loss of whole or part of substance, nonunion, or malunion of the maxilla (9910) was removed because of the addition of the new codes.
-
The conditions of carious teeth, treatable; missing teeth, replaceable; dento-alveolar abscess; pyorrhea alveolaris; and Vincent’s stomatitis were determined to be nondisabling conditions; the new section 4.149 served as a replacement to address these conditions.
