Fractured dental restorative material
ICD-10 K08.53 is a used to indicate a diagnosis of fractured dental restorative material.
K08.53 refers to fractured dental restorative material, which can occur in various forms of dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, fillings, and dentures. Clinically, this condition may present with symptoms including pain, sensitivity, or visible damage to the restoration. The anatomy involved primarily includes the teeth and surrounding structures, such as the gums and jawbone. The progression of this condition can lead to further complications, including decay of the underlying tooth structure, infection, or the need for more extensive dental procedures. Diagnostic considerations for K08.53 involve clinical examination, radiographic imaging, and patient history to assess the extent of the fracture and its impact on oral health. Treatment may vary from simple repair or replacement of the restorative material to more complex interventions depending on the severity of the fracture and the condition of the underlying tooth.

K08.53 covers conditions related to the fracture of dental restorative materials, including crowns, bridges, fillings, and dentures. It specifically addresses cases where the integrity of the restoration is compromised, leading to potential complications.
K08.53 should be used when the primary issue is the fracture of the restorative material itself, rather than the underlying tooth structure. If the tooth is also fractured, a different code may be more appropriate.
Documentation for K08.53 should include clinical notes detailing the type of restorative material, the nature of the fracture, any symptoms experienced by the patient, and the treatment plan proposed or executed.
