Code Classification

  • Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue
    (M00–M99)
    • Dentofacial anomalies [including malocclusion] and other disorders of jaw
      (M26-M27)
      • Other diseases of jaws
        (M27)

M27 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of other diseases of jaws. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.

Specific Coding Applicable to Other diseases of jaws

Non-specific codes like M27 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for other diseases of jaws:

  • Use M27.0 for Developmental disorders of jaws - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M27.1 for Giant cell granuloma, central - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M27.2 for Inflammatory conditions of jaws - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M27.3 for Alveolitis of jaws - BILLABLE CODE

  • M27.4 for Other and unspecified cysts of jaw - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M27.40 for Unspecified cyst of jaw - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M27.49 for Other cysts of jaw - BILLABLE CODE

  • M27.5 for Periradicular pathology associated with previous endodontic treatment - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M27.51 for Perforation of root canal space due to endodontic treatment - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M27.52 for Endodontic overfill - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M27.53 for Endodontic underfill - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M27.59 for Other periradicular pathology associated with previous endodontic treatment - BILLABLE CODE

  • M27.6 for Endosseous dental implant failure - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M27.61 for Osseointegration failure of dental implant - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M27.62 for Post-osseointegration biological failure of dental implant - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M27.63 for Post-osseointegration mechanical failure of dental implant - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M27.69 for Other endosseous dental implant failure - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M27.8 for Other specified diseases of jaws - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M27.9 for Disease of jaws, unspecified - BILLABLE CODE

Patient Education


Jaw Injuries and Disorders

Your jaw is a set of bones that holds your teeth. It consists of two main parts. The upper part is the maxilla. It doesn't move. The moveable lower part is called the mandible. You move it when you talk or chew. The two halves of the mandible meet at your chin. The joint where the mandible meets your skull is the temporomandibular joint.

Jaw problems include:

  • Fractures (broken bones)
  • Dislocations
  • Temporomandibular joint dysfunction
  • Osteonecrosis, which happens when your bones lose their blood supply
  • Cancers

Treatment of jaw problems depends on the cause.
