               value="Tooth Surface Codes are defined by the HIPAA standard electronic dental claim transaction (837D v5010) and the ADA Dental Claim Form.   Surface codes can be used in a variety of combinations to define a multi-surface procedure (ie. MOD for a singular intervention which covers Mesial, Occlusal, and Distal surfaces).   Tooth Surface Codes can be accessed through the [ADA Guide to Dental Procedures Reported with Area of the Oral Cavity or Tooth Anatomy (or Both).](https://www.ada.org/-/media/project/ada-organization/ada/ada-org/files/publications/cdt/final_areaoftheoralcavityandtoothanatomy.pdf?rev=fbd215c7d8c546aa967443e79f9d8e20&amp;hash=2F759947EFD75EF5ABCCBF0F62CE1FE7)"/>
