K08.0: Exfoliation of teeth due to systemic causes

Your teeth are damaged.

The cause of the damage is a change that affects your body by itself. The teeth cam be damaged for instance if you only produce a very small amount of saliva. In that case, the teeth are more susceptible to caries, among other things. Sometimes the body also does not have enough minerals like calcium to properly construct the teeth.

Additional indicator

On medical documents, the ICD code is often appended by letters that indicate the diagnostic certainty or the affected side of the body.

  • G: Confirmed diagnosis
  • V: Tentative diagnosis
  • Z: Condition after
  • A: Excluded diagnosis
  • L: Left
  • R: Right
  • B: Both sides
