Partial loss of teeth due to trauma, class III
ICD-10 K08.413 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of partial loss of teeth due to trauma, class iii.
K08.413 refers to partial loss of teeth due to trauma, classified as class III. This condition typically arises from significant external forces impacting the oral cavity, leading to the loss of one or more teeth. The affected anatomical structures include the teeth, periodontal ligaments, and surrounding alveolar bone. Clinically, patients may present with pain, swelling, and difficulty in mastication, which can affect their nutritional intake and overall health. The disease progression can vary; in some cases, immediate dental intervention may be necessary to prevent further complications such as infection or misalignment of remaining teeth. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough clinical examination, radiographic imaging to assess the extent of damage, and a detailed patient history to determine the cause of trauma. Treatment often involves dental restoration, prosthetics, or orthodontic intervention to restore function and aesthetics. Understanding the implications of K08.413 is crucial for managing the patient's oral health and preventing further gastrointestinal complications related to impaired chewing and digestion.

K08.413 covers partial loss of teeth due to trauma classified as class III, which may include fractures, avulsions, or other significant injuries to the teeth and surrounding structures.
K08.413 should be used when there is a documented partial loss of teeth specifically due to trauma, differentiating it from complete loss or other dental conditions.
Documentation should include clinical notes detailing the trauma event, radiographic evidence of tooth loss, treatment plans, and follow-up assessments to support the diagnosis.
