Other disorders of teeth and supporting structures (K08)

The ICD-10 codes in section K08 cover a wide range of other disorders of teeth and supporting structures. These codes are used to classify conditions such as exfoliation and loss of teeth due to various causes, atrophy of the alveolar ridge, retained dental roots, unsatisfactory dental restorations, and occlusal trauma.

Specifically, K08.0 identifies exfoliation of teeth due to systemic causes, commonly known as early tooth exfoliation or premature tooth loss. The series of codes from K08.1 to K08.19 describe complete loss of teeth, with subclassifications based on cause; such as trauma, periodontal disease, or caries; and severity (classes I-IV). Partial tooth loss is similarly classified in the K08.4 range. Atrophy of the alveolar bone in edentulous patients is coded under K08.2. The section also includes codes for complications related to dental restorations like defective or fractured restorations (K08.5) and allergic reactions to restorative materials (K08.55). Lastly, K08.8 covers other specified disorders, including primary and secondary occlusal trauma, while K08.9 is reserved for unspecified disorders of teeth and supporting structures. Understanding the ICD-10 code for disorders of teeth and supporting structures helps accurately document and address various dental conditions affecting tooth retention and jaw health.

Instructional Notations

Type 2 Excludes

A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.

  • dentofacial anomalies [including malocclusion] M26
  • disorders of jaw M27
