Complete loss of teeth due to trauma, class II

This code signifies the total absence of all natural teeth in the mouth, specifically resulting from an injury or external force. It indicates a complete edentulism directly attributable to trauma, rather than disease or congenital factors.

Apply this code when a patient presents with a history and physical examination confirming the complete loss of all teeth due to an acute traumatic event (e.g., motor vehicle accident, sports injury, assault). Documentation must clearly state the traumatic etiology of the complete edentulism.

• Ensure documentation explicitly links the complete tooth loss to a traumatic incident.
• Distinguish from tooth loss due to periodontal disease or caries, which would use different codes.
• Consider sequencing this code after any acute injury codes if the trauma is recent and still being treated.
