Partial loss of teeth due to trauma, class I
ICD-10 K08.411 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of partial loss of teeth due to trauma, class i.
K08.411 refers to partial loss of teeth due to trauma, classified as Class I. This condition typically arises from physical injuries to the oral cavity, which may result from accidents, falls, or sports-related incidents. Clinically, patients may present with one or more missing teeth, which can affect their ability to chew and speak properly, leading to potential nutritional deficiencies and psychosocial impacts. The anatomy involved primarily includes the dental structures, such as the enamel, dentin, and periodontal tissues. Disease progression can vary; if not addressed, it may lead to further complications, including misalignment of remaining teeth, increased wear on adjacent teeth, and potential jaw issues. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough clinical examination, radiographic imaging to assess the extent of damage, and evaluation of the patient's dental history. Treatment options may involve restorative procedures, such as dental implants or bridges, to restore function and aesthetics.

K08.411 covers partial loss of teeth specifically due to trauma, including cases where one or more teeth are lost or severely damaged as a result of an external force. It does not include tooth loss due to decay or other non-traumatic causes.
K08.411 should be used when documenting partial tooth loss resulting from trauma. It is important to differentiate from codes related to complete tooth loss (K08.410) or other dental conditions that do not involve trauma.
Documentation for K08.411 should include a detailed account of the trauma incident, clinical findings, radiographic evidence of tooth loss, treatment plans, and any follow-up care provided to the patient.
