What is dental code d7111?

Dental code D7111 refers to the procedure for a "coronectomy," which involves the surgical removal of the crown portion of a tooth while leaving the roots intact. This procedure is typically performed to minimize the risk of nerve damage or other complications, particularly in cases where the tooth is impacted or poses a risk to surrounding structures. It is often used in the context of third molars (wisdom teeth) that are not fully erupted.
