2025 ICD-10-CM code K08.4

Partial loss of teeth due to acquired causes.

Use this code for acquired partial tooth loss.Do not use it for complete tooth loss, congenital absence, or loss due to systemic causes. Ensure documentation clearly supports the cause of tooth loss.

Medical necessity is typically not directly relevant to this code, as it describes a condition rather than a procedure.However, it can be used to support the medical necessity of related procedures, such as dentures or implants.

In simple words: Partial loss of teeth that occurred after they were developed, not due to being born without them or a medical condition.

Acquired partial loss of teeth.This excludes complete loss of teeth (K08.1-), congenital absence of teeth (K00.0), and exfoliation of teeth due to systemic causes (K08.0).

Example 1: A patient presents with multiple missing teeth due to prior extractions following dental decay., An elderly patient has lost several teeth over time due to gum disease and age-related wear., A patient is missing a few teeth as a result of a traumatic injury.

Documentation should specify the cause and extent of tooth loss, differentiating it from congenital absence or systemic conditions.

** This code specifically refers to acquired partial tooth loss.There are other codes for complete tooth loss (K08.1) and for tooth loss due to specific causes like systemic conditions (K08.0).
