Mandibular Defect

We cannot reach the code for Mandibular defect directly in ICD-9-CM.In such case we can derive from Disese or Disorder bone specified NEC as 733.99.Hope i am correct.
 
If the mandibular defect is of congenital one, use the code 756.0 and if the defect is acquired one, use the code 738.8. Hope this helps you.:)
