Code 627

Preliminary restoration for crown is the code 627. I believe that this code is too all encompassing. I restored a tooth with composite resin today, lower molar 5 surface. If my core buildup was only 3 or 4 surface the cost would be the same, I think that there should be an increase in cost for larger buildups which perhaps relates to the cost of the correstponding 5-- code. e.g Half the cost of the 5-- code.

Such problems would be less obvious if we used a dual cure composite core buildup system which involves a single layer which would be a timesaver. If I have to buildup the whole tooth in CR with incremements then running costs increase significantly.
