Complete loss of teeth due to trauma, class IV
ICD-10 K08.114 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of complete loss of teeth due to trauma, class iv.
K08.114 refers to complete loss of teeth due to trauma, classified as class IV. This condition typically arises from significant external forces, such as accidents or falls, leading to the complete avulsion of teeth. The anatomical structures involved include the teeth, alveolar bone, and surrounding soft tissues, which may also sustain injury. The clinical presentation often includes pain, swelling, and bleeding at the site of injury, along with functional impairments in chewing and speaking. Disease progression can vary; immediate intervention is crucial to manage pain and prevent infection. Over time, loss of teeth can lead to complications such as malocclusion, changes in facial aesthetics, and potential psychological impacts due to altered appearance. Diagnostic considerations involve a thorough clinical examination, imaging studies like X-rays to assess bone integrity, and possibly referral to dental specialists for comprehensive management. Accurate diagnosis is essential for appropriate treatment planning and coding.

K08.114 specifically covers complete loss of teeth due to trauma, including avulsions resulting from accidents, sports injuries, or falls. It does not cover loss due to periodontal disease or other non-traumatic causes.
K08.114 should be used when there is a complete loss of teeth due to trauma. It is important to differentiate from related codes like K08.113, which pertains to partial loss of teeth, to ensure accurate representation of the patient's condition.
Documentation should include a detailed account of the trauma incident, clinical findings, treatment provided, and any follow-up care. Radiographic evidence may also be necessary to confirm the extent of tooth loss and assess bone integrity.
