Complete loss of teeth due to trauma, class III
ICD-10 K08.113 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of complete loss of teeth due to trauma, class iii.
K08.113 refers to the complete loss of teeth due to trauma, classified as class III. This condition typically arises from significant physical injury to the oral cavity, resulting in the loss of all teeth in one or both dental arches. The anatomy involved includes the maxilla and mandible, as well as the periodontal structures that support the teeth. Clinically, patients may present with acute pain, swelling, and bleeding in the oral region, along with functional impairments such as difficulty in chewing and speaking. Disease progression can lead to complications such as malnutrition due to impaired dietary intake, as well as psychological impacts stemming from altered appearance and self-esteem issues. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough clinical examination, radiographic imaging to assess bone integrity, and possibly referral to dental specialists for comprehensive management. The diagnosis must be substantiated by documentation of the traumatic event and its direct correlation to the loss of teeth.

K08.113 specifically covers complete loss of teeth resulting from trauma, including accidents, sports injuries, or physical assaults. It does not cover tooth loss due to decay or periodontal disease.
K08.113 should be used when there is clear documentation of complete tooth loss due to a traumatic event. It should not be used for tooth loss due to non-traumatic causes such as decay or periodontal disease.
Documentation must include a detailed account of the traumatic incident, clinical findings, treatment plans, and any referrals to specialists. Radiographic evidence may also be necessary to support the diagnosis.
