Complete loss of teeth due to trauma.
Medical necessity for the evaluation and management of complete loss of teeth due to trauma is established by the nature and extent of the injury. Treatment may involve dental prosthetics, reconstructive surgery, pain management, and infection control.
Clinicians should document the circumstances of the trauma leading to tooth loss, including the date of the incident, the nature of the injury (e.g., fall, sports injury, assault), and any associated injuries.Dental records should be reviewed to assess the patient’s pre-trauma dental status. Imaging studies, such as X-rays or CT scans, may be necessary to evaluate the extent of the trauma.
In simple words: All teeth have been lost due to an injury.

Documentation should include details about the traumatic event, the extent of tooth loss (complete), relevant imaging studies (e.g., x-rays, CT scans), dental records if available, and any associated injuries.
