Reviewed by HealthAssure Clinical TeamUpdated 21 May 2026
What is this code?
ICD-10 codes are diagnosis classification codes used in healthcare records, reporting, coding workflows, and billing support. This code sits within the broader ICD-10 area for Diseases of the digestive system (K00-K95).
📋Clinical overview
This ICD-10 code is commonly used when documentation describes partial loss of teeth due to trauma. The most accurate code depends on the documented class.
When is it used?
- May be used when a clinician documents partial loss of teeth due to trauma, class iii in a patient's medical record.
- May appear in hospital records, claims, referrals, and clinical documentation.
- This code can be used as a clinically usable diagnosis entry in standardized coding workflows.
What it does not mean
- A code alone does not explain severity, treatment plan, or outcome.
- A medical code should not be treated as a substitute for a doctor's diagnosis or advice.
🩺Clinical context
When commonly used
- Dental, oral-surgery, trauma, and utilization-review workflows where partial traumatic tooth loss is documented.
- Coding workflows where the chart supports partial loss of teeth due to trauma and the final code changes based on the documented class.
Common management context
- Evaluation often includes oral exam findings, dental imaging context when available, trauma history, and planning for dental or oral-surgery follow-up.
- Documentation usually becomes more specific when the chart identifies the exact traumatic tooth-loss class and distinguishes partial from complete tooth loss.
- Specialist context already linked on this page includes Gastroenterologist, General Physician, Orthopedic Specialist.
🔍Key distinctions
Important notes
- These ICD-10 codes are reserved for partial loss of teeth due to trauma rather than complete tooth loss or nontraumatic dental conditions.
- Class detail drives most of the code specificity inside this family.
- Class I tooth-loss detail is coded separately from classes II, III, IV, and unspecified class within this dental-trauma family.
- Class II tooth-loss detail is coded separately from classes I, III, IV, and unspecified class within this dental-trauma family.
- Class III tooth-loss detail is coded separately from classes I, II, IV, and unspecified class within this dental-trauma family.
- Documentation that describes partial loss of teeth due to trauma is coded differently from complete tooth loss due to trauma or another dental condition.
