2025 ICD-10-CM code K05.213
(Active) Effective Date: N/A Revision Date: N/A Deletion Date: N/A Diseases of oral cavity and salivary glands - Aggressive periodontitis, localized Diseases of the digestive system Feed
Aggressive periodontitis, localized, severe.
Medical necessity for coding K05.213 is established through documented clinical findings demonstrating the presence of severe localized aggressive periodontitis, necessitating treatment to prevent further tooth loss and maintain oral health. The clinical documentation must clearly indicate the need for intervention based on the severity of the disease.
Diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease by a dentist or periodontist. This may include a comprehensive periodontal examination, radiographic imaging, and development of a treatment plan.
In simple words: This code describes a serious type of gum disease where the gums and bone around some teeth are severely damaged, leading to rapid bone loss.It affects specific areas of the mouth.
This ICD-10-CM code signifies severe aggressive periodontitis affecting localized areas of the mouth.Aggressive periodontitis is a rapidly progressing form of gum disease characterized by significant bone and tissue loss around the teeth.
Example 1: A 25-year-old patient presents with significant gum inflammation, bleeding, and bone loss around several lower molars. Radiographs reveal extensive bone loss consistent with aggressive periodontitis.K05.213 is used to code the severity of the localized disease., A 30-year-old patient with a history of aggressive periodontitis undergoes a periodontal evaluation. Examination reveals severe bone loss localized to the anterior teeth.Despite prior treatment, the disease has progressed rapidly.K05.213 accurately reflects the current state of the disease., A 40-year-old patient is referred to a periodontist due to rapid bone loss around multiple teeth. Clinical examination and radiographic imaging confirm severe localized aggressive periodontitis. The patient requires extensive scaling and root planing, along with possible surgical intervention. K05.213 is appropriate for this case.
Complete periodontal examination findings including probing depths, bleeding on probing, clinical attachment loss, radiographic evidence of bone loss, and a description of the extent and location of the disease.Treatment plan outlining procedures performed.
** This code is specific to severe, localized aggressive periodontitis.The extent and location of the disease process must be carefully documented to support this code assignment.Consider using additional codes to capture associated conditions or complications.
