Complete loss of teeth due to other specified cause, class IV
ICD-10 K08.194 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of complete loss of teeth due to other specified cause, class iv.
K08.194 refers to complete loss of teeth due to other specified causes, classified as class IV. This condition can arise from various factors including systemic diseases, trauma, or other underlying conditions that lead to the deterioration of dental health. The anatomy involved primarily includes the maxilla and mandible, where teeth are anchored. The disease progression often begins with periodontal disease or other oral health issues that, if untreated, can lead to tooth loss. Patients may present with symptoms such as pain, swelling, and difficulty in chewing, which can significantly impact their nutritional intake and overall health. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough dental examination, radiographic imaging, and assessment of the patient's medical history to identify any systemic conditions contributing to tooth loss. Understanding the underlying cause is crucial for effective management and treatment planning.

K08.194 encompasses tooth loss due to various specified causes such as systemic diseases (e.g., diabetes, autoimmune disorders), trauma, or other dental conditions that do not fall under the more common classifications.
K08.194 should be used when tooth loss is attributed to a specific cause that is not classified under other codes, ensuring that the underlying condition is documented and clearly defined.
Documentation should include a comprehensive dental examination, patient history detailing the cause of tooth loss, treatment plans, and any relevant imaging studies that support the diagnosis.
