Anodontia is the complete absence of teeth, affecting both primary and permanent dentition. It can be an isolated condition or part of a syndrome.
Modifiers may be applicable depending on the specific services provided and the payer's requirements.
Medical necessity for treatment is established by the significant impact of anodontia on the patient's ability to eat, speak, and maintain oral health.The chosen intervention (dentures, implants, etc.) should be appropriate for the patient's age and overall health.
Diagnosis and management of anodontia, including assessment of associated syndromes, development of a treatment plan (dentures, implants, orthodontics), genetic counseling, and ongoing oral health maintenance.
In simple words: Anodontia means a person is born without any teeth. This can affect baby teeth and adult teeth.It can happen by itself or be part of a bigger health problem.People with anodontia may need dentures, implants, or braces.
Anodontia (K00.0) is a rare developmental dental anomaly characterized by the complete absence of all teeth.This can involve both the primary (deciduous) and permanent dentitions.Anodontia may occur as an isolated finding or as a component of a broader syndrome, often associated with other developmental abnormalities involving hair, skin, cleft lip or palate, and skeletal structures. The condition significantly impacts a patient's ability to eat, speak, and maintain oral hygiene, necessitating interventions such as dentures, implants, or orthodontic treatment. Genetic counseling is often recommended.
Example 1: A newborn infant is diagnosed with anodontia as part of a comprehensive genetic syndrome involving craniofacial abnormalities., A 10-year-old child presents with complete absence of primary teeth and a family history suggestive of anodontia., An adult patient with anodontia requires comprehensive prosthetic rehabilitation using dental implants and custom-fabricated dentures.
Complete dental examination, including radiographic imaging (panoramic X-rays), comprehensive medical history, genetic testing (if indicated), and documentation of the treatment plan and its implementation.
** Anodontia is a rare condition.Accurate diagnosis requires comprehensive evaluation to rule out other conditions.Appropriate documentation is crucial for reimbursement.
