2025 ICD-10-CM code K05.219
(Active) Effective Date: N/A Revision Date: N/A Deletion Date: N/A Dental and Oral Diseases - Aggressive periodontitis Diseases of the digestive system Feed
Aggressive periodontitis, localized, unspecified severity.
Modifiers are not directly applicable to ICD-10 codes.
Medical necessity for treatment of aggressive periodontitis is established by the presence of significant periodontal destruction, as evidenced by clinical examination and radiographic imaging.The rapid progression of the disease warrants timely intervention to prevent further bone and tooth loss.
Diagnosis and management of aggressive periodontitis falls under the responsibility of dentists, periodontists, or other qualified dental professionals. Treatment may involve scaling and root planing, antibiotics, and potentially surgical interventions.

- K00-K95 (Diseases of the digestive system); K05 (Gingivitis and periodontal diseases); K05.2 (Aggressive periodontitis)
In simple words: This code is for a serious gum disease that affects specific areas of the mouth and causes rapid bone and gum loss around teeth.The severity of this gum disease is not specified.
This ICD-10-CM code classifies aggressive periodontitis that is localized (affecting a specific area) and of unspecified severity.Aggressive periodontitis is a rapidly progressive form of gum disease characterized by significant bone and tissue loss around the teeth.The localization specifies that the disease is confined to a particular area of the mouth, rather than being widespread.
Example 1: A 25-year-old patient presents with rapidly progressing gum disease affecting the lower incisors.Radiographic imaging shows significant bone loss around these teeth.The dentist diagnoses aggressive periodontitis, localized, unspecified severity (K05.219)., A 30-year-old patient has localized aggressive periodontitis affecting the molars on the right side of the mouth.The severity is difficult to assess without more extensive testing, so the dentist records the code K05.219., A 17-year-old patient is exhibiting symptoms of aggressive periodontitis affecting several teeth in the front of their mouth.The rapid progression of the disease necessitates immediate treatment. The periodontist documents K05.219, pending further evaluation for severity.
** This code is used for billing purposes in conjunction with appropriate procedural codes (CPT codes) for the treatment of aggressive periodontitis. The lack of severity specification in this code requires additional clinical information in the medical record for complete documentation.
