Implant Crown and FPD Treatment Planning

The codes D6065 – D6067 refer to implant crowns that are screwed directly to the implant fixture with no intermediate

abutment (UCLA type crowns for example). The codes D6075 – D6077 refer to implant FPD retainers that are screwed

directly to the implant fixture with no intermediate abutment (NOT CEMENTED)

Typical implant crowns and implant FPD retainers have either pre-fabricated or custom abutments to support the crown

or FPD retainer on the implant fixture. The new codes for treatment planning purposes are as follows:

D6056: A prefabricated abutment selected for an implant fixture that will support a fixed unit.

D6057: A custom made abutment that will be placed on an implant fixture to support a fixed unit

D6058 – D6064: Various single unit fixed units to be used in combination with either abutment code

D6068 – D6074: Various FPD Retainer fixed units to be used in combination with either abutment code

See the following examples for correct use and sequencing of these codes.

If there is some doubt as to the type of abutment (pre-fab vs. custom) please treatment plan with the more commonly

used prefabricated abutment code. If it needs to be changed at a later date contact the Axium Clinical Systems

Administrator (kplummer@georgiahealth.edu) for assistance.
