ICD-10 Code K08.132 – Complete loss of teeth due to caries, class II (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code K08.132 – Complete loss of teeth due to caries, class II
What it is
K08.132 identifies complete tooth loss caused by dental caries, limited to class II involvement. Use it when documentation states the teeth are fully lost because of decay rather than trauma, periodontal disease, or congenital absence.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical findings include a fully edentulous area with a history of advanced caries, and the record should support that decay was the cause of the tooth loss.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents complete loss of teeth due to caries and specifies class II. It fits charted cases where decay has resulted in total loss of the affected teeth, not partial destruction or restorations. Check documentation if the cause or class is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for tooth loss from trauma, periodontal disease, congenital absence, or unspecified dental loss. If the note does not confirm caries as the cause, check documentation.
Coding tip
Assign K08.132 only when both the cause and class are clearly documented; otherwise, query for clarification.
