Complete loss of teeth due to trauma, class I
ICD-10 K08.111 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of complete loss of teeth due to trauma, class i.
K08.111 refers to complete loss of teeth due to trauma, classified as class I. This condition typically arises from significant external forces, such as accidents or falls, leading to the avulsion or fracture of teeth. The clinical presentation may include immediate pain, swelling, and bleeding in the oral cavity, along with the visible absence of one or more teeth. The anatomy involved primarily includes the dental structures, including the enamel, dentin, pulp, and periodontal ligaments. Disease progression can vary; if not managed promptly, it may lead to complications such as infection, misalignment of remaining teeth, and alterations in the patient's bite. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough clinical examination, radiographic imaging to assess the extent of trauma, and evaluation of surrounding soft tissues. Treatment often involves dental restoration or prosthetic options, depending on the severity of tooth loss and the patient's overall oral health status.

K08.111 specifically covers cases of complete loss of teeth resulting from traumatic incidents. This includes avulsed teeth due to accidents, sports injuries, or falls, where the entire tooth structure is lost.
K08.111 should be used when there is a complete loss of teeth due to trauma. If only partial loss or other dental conditions are present, related codes such as K08.112 should be considered.
Documentation should include a detailed account of the trauma incident, clinical findings, radiographic evidence, treatment plans, and any follow-up care provided to support the diagnosis of complete tooth loss.
