Complete loss of teeth due to trauma
ICD-10 K08.11 is a used to indicate a diagnosis of complete loss of teeth due to trauma.
K08.11 refers to complete loss of teeth due to trauma, which can significantly impact a patient's oral health and overall well-being. Clinically, this condition presents as the absence of all teeth in one or both dental arches, often resulting from accidents, falls, or other forms of physical trauma. The anatomy involved includes the maxilla and mandible, as well as the periodontal structures that support the teeth. Disease progression can vary; immediate loss of teeth may lead to complications such as malocclusion, difficulty in mastication, and alterations in speech. Additionally, the absence of teeth can lead to bone resorption in the jaw, further complicating future dental rehabilitation. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough clinical examination, radiographic imaging to assess bone integrity, and a review of the patient's medical history to identify any underlying conditions that may affect healing or treatment. Proper diagnosis is essential for planning appropriate restorative procedures, such as dentures or implants, to restore function and aesthetics.

K08.11 specifically covers the complete loss of teeth due to trauma, which may include avulsion of teeth from accidents or injuries. It does not cover loss due to periodontal disease or other non-traumatic causes.
K08.11 should be used when there is a complete loss of teeth due to a traumatic event. If the loss is partial or due to other causes, such as disease, other codes like K08.12 or K05.1 should be considered.
Documentation should include a detailed account of the trauma incident, clinical examination findings, radiographic evidence of tooth loss, and any treatment plans proposed for restoration.
