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.
- Codes from the Denturist Association of Canada (DAC) are not included in Open Dental and must be created manually if needed.
Check the tools to run, then click Run Now. A message displays when updates are done.
