Hi Guest!
42409 - Marsupialization of sublingual salivary cyst (ranula)
While dental coding is not our forte like medical coding is, however it doesn't appear there is a specific dental code that exactly described this procedure. The closest I was able to find are: D7509 - marsupialization of odontogenic cyst D7410 - excision of benign lesion up to 1.25 cm D7411 - excision of benign lesion greater than 1.25 cm D7412 - excision of benign lesion, complicated D7510 - incision and drainage of abscess - intraoral soft tissue D7511 - incision and drainage of abscess - intraoral soft tissue - complicated (includes drainage of multiple fascial spaces)
If you don't feel any of these are appropriate, you may consider: D7999 - unspecified oral surgery procedure, by report
Hope this helps!

What dental code would you use for the CPT 42409 Under Excision Procedures on the Salivary Gland and Ducts?
