Code on Dental Procedures and Nomenclature (CDT)

The American Dental Association's Code on Dental Procedures and Nomenclature (CDT) is used to record and report dental procedures. It is the dental equivalent of Current Procedure Terminology (CPT) codes for other-than-dental procedures. (Hence the ADA's choice of the official abbreviation CDT rather than CDPN.)

CDT is now in its fourth version (CDT4).
