Partial loss of teeth due to periodontal diseases, class IV
ICD-10 K08.424 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of partial loss of teeth due to periodontal diseases, class iv.
K08.424 refers to partial loss of teeth due to periodontal diseases, classified as class IV. This condition typically arises from chronic inflammatory processes affecting the supporting structures of the teeth, including the gums, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone. Clinically, patients may present with gum recession, mobility of teeth, and eventual tooth loss. The disease progression often begins with gingivitis, leading to periodontitis if untreated. The anatomy involved includes the periodontal tissues, which are critical for tooth stability and overall oral health. Diagnostic considerations include clinical examinations, radiographic assessments, and periodontal probing to evaluate the extent of attachment loss and bone loss. Effective management requires a multidisciplinary approach, including dental hygiene, periodontal therapy, and possibly surgical interventions to restore periodontal health and prevent further tooth loss.

K08.424 specifically covers partial loss of teeth attributed to periodontal diseases classified as class IV, which includes significant attachment loss and mobility of teeth due to advanced periodontal disease.
K08.424 should be used when there is documented evidence of partial tooth loss specifically due to periodontal disease, particularly when the disease has progressed to class IV, indicating severe attachment loss.
Documentation for K08.424 should include clinical findings from periodontal examinations, radiographic evidence of bone loss, treatment plans, and any relevant patient history that supports the diagnosis of periodontal disease leading to tooth loss.
