Complete loss of teeth due to other specified cause
ICD-10 K08.19 is a used to indicate a diagnosis of complete loss of teeth due to other specified cause.
K08.19 refers to the complete loss of teeth due to other specified causes, which can include a variety of conditions affecting the oral cavity and surrounding structures. Clinically, this may present as total edentulism, where patients experience the absence of all natural teeth, impacting their ability to chew, speak, and maintain proper nutrition. The anatomy involved primarily includes the maxilla and mandible, along with associated periodontal tissues. Disease progression can be influenced by factors such as periodontal disease, trauma, systemic diseases (like diabetes), or certain medications that may lead to tooth loss. Diagnostic considerations include thorough dental examinations, radiographic assessments, and patient history to identify underlying causes. It is essential to differentiate K08.19 from other codes related to tooth loss, such as those specifically related to periodontal disease or trauma, to ensure accurate coding and treatment planning.

K08.19 covers complete loss of teeth due to conditions such as systemic diseases (e.g., diabetes), trauma, or other specified causes that do not fall under periodontal disease or congenital conditions.
K08.19 should be used when the complete loss of teeth is attributed to causes other than periodontal disease or trauma, ensuring that the specific underlying condition is documented.
Documentation should include a comprehensive dental examination, patient history detailing the cause of tooth loss, and any relevant diagnostic tests that support the diagnosis.
