Partial loss of teeth due to trauma
ICD-10 K08.41 is a used to indicate a diagnosis of partial loss of teeth due to trauma.
K08.41 refers to partial loss of teeth due to trauma, which can occur from various incidents such as accidents, falls, or sports injuries. Clinically, this condition presents as the loss of one or more teeth, which can lead to functional and aesthetic concerns. The anatomy involved primarily includes the dental structures, including the crown, root, and surrounding periodontal tissues. The disease progression may vary, with immediate effects such as pain and swelling, followed by potential complications like infection or further tooth loss if not managed properly. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough clinical examination, radiographic imaging to assess the extent of damage, and evaluation of the patient's dental history. Treatment may involve restorative procedures, such as crowns or bridges, and in some cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to address underlying issues or to replace lost teeth.

K08.41 covers conditions where one or more teeth are partially lost due to trauma, including fractures, avulsions, or other injuries that compromise tooth integrity.
K08.41 should be used when there is a documented partial loss of teeth specifically due to trauma, differentiating it from other codes that may pertain to loss due to decay or congenital conditions.
Documentation should include a detailed account of the trauma, clinical findings, treatment plans, and any imaging studies that support the diagnosis of partial tooth loss.
