Complete loss of teeth due to trauma, unspecified class
ICD-10 K08.119 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of complete loss of teeth due to trauma, unspecified class.
K08.119 refers to the complete loss of teeth due to trauma, unspecified class. This condition typically arises from significant external forces impacting the oral cavity, leading to the avulsion or fracture of teeth. The anatomy involved includes the dental structures such as enamel, dentin, pulp, and supporting periodontal tissues. The clinical presentation may include immediate pain, swelling, and bleeding in the affected area, along with functional impairments in chewing and speaking. Disease progression can vary; if not addressed, it may lead to complications such as infections, bone loss, and misalignment of remaining teeth. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough clinical examination, radiographic imaging to assess the extent of trauma, and evaluation of the patient's dental history. Treatment often involves dental restoration, prosthetics, or surgical interventions depending on the severity of the loss and the patient's overall health status.

K08.119 covers complete loss of teeth due to trauma, including cases where teeth are completely avulsed or fractured beyond repair. It does not include loss due to periodontal disease or other non-traumatic causes.
K08.119 should be used when there is a complete loss of teeth specifically due to trauma. If the loss is partial or due to other causes, different codes such as K08.120 or K08.121 should be considered.
Documentation should include a detailed account of the trauma event, clinical findings, radiographic evidence, treatment plans, and follow-up assessments to support the diagnosis of complete tooth loss due to trauma.
