Contour of existing restoration of tooth biologically incompatible with oral health
ICD-10 K08.54 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of contour of existing restoration of tooth biologically incompatible with oral health.
K08.54 refers to the contour of an existing dental restoration that is biologically incompatible with oral health. This condition typically arises when dental materials used in restorations, such as fillings or crowns, provoke adverse reactions in the oral environment. Clinically, patients may present with symptoms such as localized inflammation, pain, or discomfort in the affected tooth or surrounding tissues. The anatomy involved primarily includes the tooth structure, surrounding gingiva, and supporting alveolar bone. Disease progression can lead to further complications, including secondary caries, periodontal disease, or even tooth loss if not addressed. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough clinical examination, radiographic evaluation, and possibly allergy testing to identify the specific materials causing the incompatibility. It is crucial for dental professionals to assess the restoration's material composition and the patient's response to ensure appropriate management and treatment planning.

K08.54 covers conditions where existing dental restorations are made from materials that are biologically incompatible with the patient's oral health, leading to adverse reactions such as inflammation or pain.
K08.54 should be used when there is clear evidence of incompatibility of the restoration material with the patient's oral health, differentiating it from codes that cover general complications without specifying material issues.
Documentation should include a detailed clinical assessment, patient history regarding previous restorations, symptoms experienced, and any diagnostic tests performed to confirm material incompatibility.
