Complete loss of teeth due to trauma, unspecified class

This code signifies the complete absence of all natural teeth in a patient's mouth, where the etiology of this edentulism is directly attributable to a traumatic event. It specifically indicates that the trauma led to the loss of the entire dentition, without further specification of the type or extent of the trauma.

This code is appropriate for documenting cases of total anodontia resulting from an injury, such as a severe accident or physical assault, where the specific class or nature of the trauma is not detailed in the medical record. Documentation should clearly state "complete loss of teeth due to trauma" or similar phrasing, without further specificity regarding the traumatic incident.

• Only use this code when the documentation explicitly states "unspecified class" of trauma.
• Avoid using this code if the specific type of trauma (e.g., fall, assault, motor vehicle accident) is known and documented; instead, look for more specific codes.
• This code is for the result of trauma, not the trauma itself. Always code the external cause of injury (E-code) in conjunction with this diagnosis.
