·        Type a new description of up to 31 characters for the multi-code that you are editing.

·        Type three new alphanumeric characters to represent the code that you are editing.

Note: You must assign a unique five-character code to each multi-code. Dentrix automatically assigns “xx” as the first two characters.

Multi-codes consisting of one or more procedures that require additional treatment information, such as a tooth number, are flagged with an asterisk (*) in the Procedure Codes List. You must supply this additional information before you can post a multi-code.
