Canada Procedure Code Tools
The Procedure Code Tool can automatically update the Procedure Codes with any missing CDA codes, missing N codes, default auto codes, add default Procedure Buttons, and remove any temporary codes (T codes) installed with the trial version.
For Canada users, in the Procedure Codes window, click Tools.
- Use caution when selecting and running tools so that customized Auto Codes and Procedure Buttons are not reset.
- Codes from the Canadian Dental Hygienist Association (CDHA) are not automatically included in Open Dental. Contact Open Dental Support to quickly import most procedure codes.
Check the tools to run, then click Run Now. A message displays when updates are done.
