ICD-10 Code K08.530 – Fractured Dental Restorative Material Without Loss of Material (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code K08.530 – Fractured dental restorative material without loss of material
What it is
K08.530 identifies a fracture in a dental restoration, such as a filling, crown, or similar material, when the material is still present. Use it when the restoration is damaged but not missing.
Clinical signs
Clinical features may include visible cracking, chipping, or breakage of a restoration, with the material remaining in place. Check documentation for any associated pain, rough edges, or functional problems.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record states that a dental restorative material is fractured but not lost. It fits cases where the dentist documents damage to an existing restoration rather than replacement or complete loss. Confirm the note clearly distinguishes fracture from missing material.
Do not use for
Do not use this code if the restorative material is absent, removed, or documented as lost. Do not assign it for general tooth fracture or other oral conditions unless the restoration itself is the problem.
Coding tip
Code only when the documentation specifies a fractured restoration without loss; if the wording is unclear, check documentation.
