Code D2651 covers an inlay composite restoration that spans two tooth surfaces, typically used when a patient has moderate decay or damage that requires more coverage than a simple filling but less than a crown. This procedure is commonly performed on adults with cavities affecting adjacent surfaces of back teeth. From a billing perspective, this code falls under restorative dentistry and may require prior authorization from some dental insurance plans.
