Post-osseointegration mechanical failure of dental implant

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

A dental implant breaks, fractures, or experiences structural damage after it has successfully integrated with the jawbone.

Coding Tips

  • •Document the specific type of mechanical failure (fracture, loosening, screw breakage) in the clinical record
  • •This differs from biological failure and requires documentation of the mechanical component that failed

Excludes 2 — Not included here, may code separately

  • cracked tooth (K03.81)
  • fractured dental restorative material with loss of material (K08.531)
  • fractured dental restorative material without loss of material (K08.530)
  • fractured tooth (S02.5)
