2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code K08.419 – Partial loss of teeth due to trauma, unspecified class

What it is

This code identifies partial loss of teeth caused by trauma when the specific class is not documented. Use it for tooth loss or damage after an injury, not for congenital or disease-related tooth loss.

Clinical signs

Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common findings include missing teeth, fractured crowns, loosened teeth, or a history of dental injury from an accident, fall, assault, or other trauma.

When to use this code

Use K08.419 when the record clearly links partial tooth loss to trauma and the class is not specified. It fits emergency, dental, or follow-up notes describing post-injury tooth loss without more detail. If the documentation names a class, code that instead.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for tooth loss from periodontal disease, caries, congenital absence, or normal extraction. If the cause is unclear or unrelated to trauma, check documentation.

Coding tip

Confirm that trauma is documented as the cause and that no more specific class is recorded before assigning K08.419.
