Aggressive periodontitis, localized, severe
ICD-10 K05.213 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of aggressive periodontitis, localized, severe.
Aggressive periodontitis, localized, severe, is a specific form of periodontal disease characterized by rapid attachment loss and bone destruction localized to specific teeth, often affecting adolescents and young adults. Clinically, it presents with deep periodontal pockets, significant inflammation, and often the presence of specific bacteria such as Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. The disease primarily affects the periodontal tissues, including the gums, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone. Progression can lead to tooth mobility and loss if untreated. Diagnosis is based on clinical examination, radiographic findings, and microbiological testing. The disease may be associated with systemic conditions, making comprehensive evaluation essential. Treatment typically involves scaling and root planing, possible surgical interventions, and ongoing maintenance therapy. Regular follow-ups are crucial to monitor disease progression and response to treatment.

K05.213 specifically covers localized aggressive periodontitis, which is characterized by rapid attachment loss and bone destruction localized to specific teeth, primarily affecting younger populations.
K05.213 should be used when the clinical presentation indicates localized aggressive periodontitis with severe attachment loss, differentiating it from chronic periodontitis or generalized aggressive forms.
Documentation should include clinical examination findings, radiographic evidence of bone loss, treatment plans, and follow-up evaluations to support the diagnosis of localized aggressive periodontitis.
