ICD-10 Code K08.11 – Complete loss of teeth due to trauma (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code K08.11 – Complete loss of teeth due to trauma
What it is
K08.11 identifies complete tooth loss caused by an injury, not by decay or periodontal disease. Use it when the record shows traumatic avulsion or loss of all teeth due to a documented accident or other external force.
Clinical signs
Clinical features usually include missing teeth after trauma, with history of an accident, fall, assault, or other injury. Check documentation for evidence that the loss was caused by trauma rather than chronic dental disease.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents complete loss of teeth due to a traumatic event and the record supports that cause. It may apply after facial injury, dental avulsion, or extraction performed because trauma destroyed the dentition. If the cause is unclear, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use it for tooth loss from caries, periodontal disease, congenital absence, or routine extraction unrelated to trauma. If the chart does not clearly link the loss to injury, this code is not appropriate.
Coding tip
Confirm the traumatic cause is documented explicitly, because the etiology determines whether K08.11 is valid.
