The American Dental Association (ADA) has announced that its CDT 2023 and Coding Companion Kit are available now for pre-order on the ADA's website. CDT 2023 will have all of the most updated codes and descriptors while the Coding Companion Kit will compile and address the most commonly-asked questions. It will also answer specific scenario-related questions in relation to dental coding.

The CDT 2023 content has some new inclusions such as:

• 6 guided tissue regeneration procedure codes

All new CDT Code changes become effective on the first of the year.
