Complete loss of teeth due to other specified cause, class III
ICD-10 K08.193 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of complete loss of teeth due to other specified cause, class iii.
K08.193 refers to the complete loss of teeth due to other specified causes, classified as class III. This condition may arise from various factors, including systemic diseases, trauma, or environmental influences that lead to the deterioration of oral health. The anatomy involved primarily includes the maxilla and mandible, where the teeth are anchored. The progression of this condition can be gradual, often starting with periodontal disease, which may lead to tooth mobility and eventual loss. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough dental examination, radiographic imaging to assess bone loss, and evaluation of the patient's medical history to identify underlying causes such as diabetes, autoimmune disorders, or nutritional deficiencies. Clinicians must also consider the psychosocial impact of tooth loss on patients, as it can affect their quality of life, nutrition, and social interactions.
