Complete loss of teeth due to trauma, class II
ICD-10 K08.112 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of complete loss of teeth due to trauma, class ii.
K08.112 refers to complete loss of teeth due to trauma, class II, which typically involves the loss of all teeth in one or both dental arches as a result of significant physical injury. This condition can affect the oral cavity's anatomy, particularly the maxilla and mandible, leading to functional impairments in mastication and speech. The progression of this condition may vary based on the severity of the trauma and the patient's overall health. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough clinical examination, imaging studies such as X-rays, and possibly CT scans to assess the extent of bone loss and any associated injuries to the surrounding soft tissues. Patients may present with pain, swelling, and difficulty in eating or speaking, necessitating a multidisciplinary approach for management, including dental restoration and rehabilitation. Proper diagnosis and coding are crucial for treatment planning and insurance reimbursement.

K08.112 specifically covers complete loss of teeth due to trauma classified as class II, which indicates a significant injury leading to the loss of all teeth in one or both dental arches. This may include cases resulting from accidents, falls, or other traumatic events.
K08.112 should be used when there is a complete loss of teeth due to trauma, as opposed to partial loss (K08.111). It is essential to differentiate based on the extent of tooth loss and the underlying cause to ensure accurate coding and appropriate treatment planning.
Documentation for K08.112 should include a detailed account of the trauma event, clinical findings, imaging results, treatment plans, and any follow-up care. This information is crucial for substantiating the diagnosis and ensuring proper reimbursement.
