§4.150 Schedule of ratings—dental and oral conditions.

Rating

9900 Maxilla or mandible, chronic osteomyelitis or osteoradionecrosis of:

Rate as osteomyelitis, chronic under diagnostic code 5000.

9901 Mandible, loss of, complete, between angles 100

9902 Mandible, loss of approximately one-half:

Involving temporomandibular articulation 50

Not involving temporomandibular articulation 30

9903 Mandible, nonunion of:

Severe 30

Moderate 10

Note: Dependent upon degree of motion and relative loss of masticatory

function.

9904 Mandible, malunion of:

Severe displacement 20

Moderate displacement 10

Slight displacement 0

Note: Dependent upon degree of motion and relative loss of masticatory

function.

9905 Temporomandibular articulation, limited motion of:

Inter-incisal range:

0 to 10 mm 40

11 to 20 mm 30

21 to 30 mm 20

31 to 40 mm 10

Range of lateral excursion:

0 to 4 mm 10

Note: Ratings for limited inter-incisal movement shall not be combined with

ratings for limited lateral excursion.

9906 Ramus, loss of whole or part of:

Involving loss of temporomandibular articulation:

Bilateral 50

Unilateral 30

Not involving loss of temporomandibular articulation:

Bilateral 30

Unilateral 20

9907 Ramus, loss of less than one-half the substance of, not involving loss

of continuity:

Bilateral 20

Unilateral 10

9908 Condyloid process, loss of, one or both sides 30

9909 Coronoid process, loss of:

Bilateral 20

Unilateral 10

9911 Hard palate, loss of half or more:

Not replaceable by prosthesis 30

Replaceable by prosthesis 10

9912 Hard palate, loss of less than half of:

Not replaceable by prosthesis 20

Replaceable by prosthesis 0

9913 Teeth, loss of, due to loss of substance of body of maxilla or mandible without loss of continuity:

Where the lost masticatory surface cannot be restored by suitable prosthesis:

Loss of all teeth 40

Loss of all upper teeth 30

Loss of all lower teeth 30

All upper and lower posterior teeth missing 20

All upper and lower anterior teeth missing 20

All upper anterior teeth missing 10

All lower anterior teeth missing 10

All upper and lower teeth on one side missing 10

Where the loss of masticatory surface can be restored by

suitable prosthesis 0

Note: These ratings apply only to bone loss through trauma or disease such as osteomyelitis, and not to the loss of the alveolar process as a result of periodontal disease, since such loss is not considered disabling.

9914 Maxilla, loss of more than half:

Not replaceable by prosthesis 100

Replaceable by prosthesis 50

9915 Maxilla, loss of half or less:

Loss of 25 to 50 percent:

Not replaceable by prosthesis 40

Replaceable by prosthesis 30

Loss of less than 25 percent:

Not replaceable by prosthesis 20

Replaceable by prosthesis 0

9916 Maxilla, malunion or nonunion of:

Severe displacement 30

Moderate displacement 10

Slight displacement 0

Got it.

I was also looking for the Classes of dental rating on separation but I can not find that. Does anyone know where I can find the classes of qualification?

Thanks
