by Prof. Norbert Stroman 4 min read

ICD-10 code K09. 0 for Developmental odontogenic cysts is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the digestive system .

What is the ICD 10 code for odontogenic ovarian cysts?

Developmental odontogenic cysts. K09.0 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.

What is a developmental odontogenic cyst?

Developmental odontogenic cysts. Cyst due to the occlusion of the duct of a follicle or small gland. Most common follicular odontogenic cyst. Occurs in relation to a partially erupted or unerupted tooth with at least the crown of the tooth to which the cyst is attached protruding into the cystic cavity.

What is the ICD 10 code for dental cyst?

The ICD code K090 is used to code Dentigerous cyst A dentigerous cyst or follicular cyst is an odontogenic cyst - thought to be of developmental origin - associated with the crown of an unerupted (or partially erupted) tooth. The cyst cavity is lined by epithelial cells derived from the reduced enamel epithelium of the tooth forming organ.

What is a developmental odontogenic cyst?

Odontogenic cysts are the most common form of cystic lesions affecting the maxillofacial region. They are classified traditionally into a developmental group, including keratocysts and dentigerous cysts, and an inflammatory group, including radicular cysts.

Is Dentigerous cyst developmental?

Dentigerous cysts, also called follicular cysts, are slow-growing benign and non-inflammatory odontogenic cysts that are thought to be developmental in origin. On imaging, they usually present as a well-defined and unilocular radiolucency surrounding the crown of an unerupted or impacted tooth within the mandible.

Is OKC a developmental cyst?

The odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is an enigmatic developmental cyst that deserves special attention. It has characteristic histopathological and clinical features; but, what makes this cyst special is its aggressive behavior and high recurrence rate.

What are the most common odontogenic cysts?

Dentigerous cyst. Dentigerous cysts are the most common of odontogenic cysts and can occur at any tooth location, but most often occur in third molars and maxillary canines, locations most often involved in tooth impaction.

Is a radicular cyst an odontogenic cyst?

CLINICAL CHARACTERISTICS. Periapical or radicular cyst is the most common cyst of the jaws. It is considered an inflammatory rather than a developmental odontogenic cyst. This cyst is always associated with a nonvital tooth.

What is primordial cyst?

A primordial cyst is a developmental odontogenic cyst. It is found in an area where a tooth should have formed but is missing. Primordial cysts most commonly arise in the area of mandibular third molars.

How can you tell the difference between Okeloblastoma and OKC?

Most OKCs showed smooth border and unilocular shape, while most ameloblastomas showed scalloped border and multilocular shape. Compared with ameloblastomas, OKCs showed greater frequency to be associated with impacted tooth, and were unlikely to cause tooth displacement and root resorption.

Why is OKC called KCOT?

The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended the use of the term keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT), rather than odontogenic keratocyst (OKC), because the former name better reflects the neoplastic behavior of the lesion.

Is odontogenic keratocyst a tumor or a cyst?

An odontogenic keratocyst is a rare and benign but locally aggressive developmental cyst. It most often affects the posterior mandible and most commonly presents in the third decade of life.

What is a developmental cyst?

Developmental cysts are epithelial cysts that appear as well-defined, thin-walled, unilocular lesions and are classified according to their origin and histopathologic features. They are thought to arise from caudal embryonic vestiges (,1). Epidermoid cysts are benign unilocular lesions filled with clear fluid.

Which of the following is an odontogenic cyst?

An odontogenic cyst is a fluid-filled sac that develops in the jaw bone over a tooth that hasn't erupted yet. The cysts, in most cases, affect the molars or canines, and they're second in prevalence after periapical cysts. These are cystic lesions that result from an infection in a tooth.

What is the difference between odontogenic and Nonodontogenic cyst?

Odontogenic cysts arise from remnants of the odontogenic epithelium entrapped in bone or gingival tissue, while non-odontogenic cysts develop from epithelium of non-odontogenic origin.

What is the ICd 10 code for odontogenic cysts?

K09.0 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Developmental odontogenic cysts . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .

Do you include decimal points in ICD-10?

DO NOT include the decimal point when electronically filing claims as it may be rejected. Some clearinghouses may remove it for you but to avoid having a rejected claim due to an invalid ICD-10 code, do not include the decimal point when submitting claims electronically. See also:
