A Review of Hard-Tissue Grafting in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Hard-tissue augmentation is a core part of daily oral and maxillofacial surgery practice - from routine socket grafting to full-arch reconstruction of the maxilla or mandible. This 60-minute live webinar breaks down the fundamentals that drive predictable outcomes, helping OMSs make confident, case-appropriate decisions across a wide range of clinical scenarios. Participants will learn how key patient and site factors influence procedure selection, material choice and healing timelines. The presentation also clarifies how today's leading regenerative options compare, including when autogenous bone may still be the best fit and when alternative approaches can better support long-term implant stability and esthetic contour management.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:

1. Comprehend the principles of bone healing and regeneration.
2. Establish understanding of bone grafting materials and techniques to improve augmentation outcomes. 
3. Identify techniques to avoid and manage common complications of hard-tissue augmentation procedures.

The Art of Modifiers: Ensuring Accurate Coding with OMS Procedures

Navigating the complexities of Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) and Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) modifier use is a vital aspect of coding OMS procedures. Code with confidence by registering for an in-depth webinar designed for OMSs and coding professionals. Whether new to modifier coding or looking to enhance skills, participants will learn practical insights and best practices in this 90-minute webinar that helps demystify the purpose and application of modifiers – those two-character alpha-numeric codes that play a critical role in medical billing by influencing pricing, claims processing and anatomical specificity. Explore commonly misunderstood modifiers such as 59 (distinct procedural services), 57 (decision for surgery) and 53 (discontinued procedure) along with best practices for applying the KX and GY modifiers when billing Medicare services. Through real-world examples from oral and maxillofacial surgery, attendees will learn how to apply these modifiers accurately to ensure compliance, avoid misuse and optimize reimbursement. 

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:

1. Apply key CPT modifiers (e.g., 22, 50, 52, 57,59) relevant to billing dental services on medical claim form. 
2. Understand the appropriate use of modifiers KX and GY when billing dental services on medical and dental claim forms, including how they are used to certify linkage to Medicare-covered services or to indicate non-covered services for denial purposes. 
3. Differentiate between modifiers used to indicate surgical complexity and staged procedures, ad clearly distinguish the use of modifier 50 (bilateral procedure) from LT and RT (left and right anatomical modifiers.
4. Recognize scenarios where modifier use may be inappropriate and learn strategies to avoid common errors and misuse.

The OMS Coding Essentials: Medical and Dental Procedures and Diagnoses is an intermediate-level course designed to help OMS practices optimize reimbursement through focused instruction on procedural coding. The course will provide comprehensive guidance on coding for the full scope of OMS procedures, including medical and dental services, coding complications and medical record documentation. Attendees also will deepen their understanding of global surgical packages, National Correct Codin Initiative (NCCI) edits and the appropriate use of surgical modifiers. In addition to coding assistance for bone grafting, fractures, extractions and implants, this course offers insights into coding dentoalveolar procedures such as surgical exposure and uprighting, soft-tissue procedures, incision and drainage, cleft palate/lip procedures, wound debridement and repairs. The course also will explore ICD-10-CM coding principles related to neoplasms, including coding for sequelae, complications and Z codes. Instruction will cover the new 2026 CDT coding updates for incisional biopsies, photobiomodulation therapy and an in-depth review of revisions made to the CDT anesthesia codes along with the latest Medicare policy updates impacting dental coverage. Additionally, the course addresses pathology-related coding, with an emphasis on accurate reporting of biopsy procedures, neoplasm classification and the documentation required to support medical necessity. Instruction also is provided on E/M coding and documentation guidelines. 

Learning Objectives:

1. Identify and apply the significant 2026 revisions to the CDT anesthesia codes, with an emphasis on accurate code selection, documentation requirements and their impact on reimbursement and compliance.
2. Review proper diagnosing principles on neoplasms, sequelae and application of 7th characters.
3. Analyze clinical case studies to code OMS-specific procedures for fractures, TMJ, implants and biopsies.
4. Describe the relationship of coding to third-party payers and its effects on reimbursement. 
5. Demonstrate compliance through appropriate documentation (e.g., use of E/M guidelines) for services provided.

This course consists of multiple units. To complete each unit, you will need your printed course manual and current coding books (ICD-10-CM, CPT, HCPCS Level II and CDT).
