Complete loss of teeth due to other specified cause, class I
ICD-10 K08.191 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of complete loss of teeth due to other specified cause, class i.
K08.191 refers to complete loss of teeth due to other specified causes, classified as class I. This condition can arise from various factors, including systemic diseases, trauma, or dental neglect. Clinically, patients may present with complete edentulism, which significantly impacts their ability to chew, speak, and maintain proper nutrition. The anatomy involved primarily includes the maxilla and mandible, as well as the surrounding periodontal structures. Disease progression can vary; for instance, conditions like diabetes or osteoporosis may exacerbate tooth loss over time. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough dental examination, radiographic imaging, and a review of the patient's medical history to identify underlying causes. It is essential to differentiate this code from other forms of tooth loss, such as those due to periodontal disease (K05.9) or trauma (S02.6). Accurate coding is crucial for appropriate treatment planning and reimbursement.

K08.191 covers complete loss of teeth due to conditions such as systemic diseases (e.g., diabetes, cancer), trauma, or other specified causes that do not fall under periodontal disease or trauma-related codes.
K08.191 should be used when the complete loss of teeth is attributed to specific causes other than periodontal disease or trauma, ensuring that the underlying condition is well-documented.
Documentation should include a comprehensive dental examination, radiographic evidence, and a detailed medical history that outlines the specific causes of tooth loss, along with any relevant treatment plans.
