The new codes are for describing the infusion of tixagevimab and cilgavimab monoclonal antibody (code XW023X7), and the infusion of other new technology monoclonal antibody (code XW023Y7).
Abscess. The ICD-10-CM Alphabetical Index is designed to allow medical coders to look up various medical terms and connect them with the appropriate ICD codes. There are 340 terms under the parent term 'Abscess' in the ICD-10-CM Alphabetical Index . Abscess. See Code: L02.91.
Z87.2 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM Z87.2 became effective on October 1, 2020. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Z87.2 - other international versions of ICD-10 Z87.2 may differ.

K04. 7 - Periapical abscess without sinus. ICD-10-CM.
A periapical abscess is a collection of pus at the root of a tooth, usually caused by an infection that has spread from a tooth to the surrounding tissues.
Other specified disorders of teeth and supporting structures The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM K08. 89 became effective on October 1, 2021.
There are three types of dental abscess: Gingival, periodontal and periapical. Symptoms of dental abscesses include pain, a bad taste in the mouth and fever. Dental abscesses are caused by a bacterial infection. Treatment for an abscess may involve root canal surgery.
There are two main types of dental abscess: periodontal abscess — where bacteria infect the gums; and • periapical abscess — where bacteria infect the pulp inside of the tooth (and which is overall the most common type).
A periodontal abscess is a pocket of pus in the tissues of the gum. It looks like a small red ball pushing out of the swollen gum. An abscess can occur with serious gum disease (periodontitis), which causes the gums to pull away from the teeth.
ICD (International Classification of Diseases – 10th Edition – Clinical Modification) is the only diagnosis code set that may be used on claims submitted to dental benefit plans when needed, as well as on claims for dental services submitted to medical benefit plans where diagnosis codes are always required.
ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 525.9 : Unspecified disorder of the teeth and supporting structures.
The inflammation has spread from the tooth to the periodontal ligament. Because of the inflammation, pus has accumulated at the bottom of the tooth root. Among other things, pus is composed of dead tissue and pathogens. If pus accumulates in the periodontal ligament, you may have a severe toothache, for example.
A periapical tooth abscess usually occurs as a result of an untreated dental cavity, an injury or prior dental work. The resulting infection with irritation and swelling (inflammation) can cause an abscess at the tip of the root. Dentists will treat a tooth abscess by draining it and getting rid of the infection.
SUMMARY. Acute apical abscess is the most common form of dental abscess and is caused by infection of the root canal of the tooth. It is usually localized intraorally, but in some cases the apical abscess may spread and result in severe complications or even mortality.
The predominant species associated with dental abscess include Bacteroides, Fusobacterium, Actinomyces, Peptococcus,Peptostreptococcus, and Porphyromonas as well as Prevotella oralis, Prevotella melaninogenica, and Streptococcus viridans.
