Partial loss of teeth due to other specified cause, class II

This code signifies the absence of some, but not all, natural teeth within an arch, specifically due to a cause other than caries, periodontal disease, trauma, or congenital factors. The "Class II" designation refers to a Kennedy Classification system, indicating a unilateral edentulous area located posterior to the remaining natural teeth, with natural teeth present on the contralateral side.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states a partial loss of teeth attributable to an "other specified cause" (e.g., iatrogenic removal, systemic disease manifestation, or idiopathic tooth loss) and the edentulous space fits the Kennedy Class II description. Supporting documentation should include a dental examination noting the missing teeth, the specific arch affected, and the etiology of the tooth loss.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states an "other specified cause" for tooth loss; avoid using this code for caries, periodontal disease, or trauma.
• Verify the Kennedy Class II classification is clearly supported by the dental charting and description of the edentulous area.
• Do not use this code if the tooth loss is complete (edentulism) or if the cause is unspecified.
