Fracture of tooth (traumatic) 1 S02.5 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM S02.5 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S02.5 - other international versions of ICD-10 S02.5 may differ.
These are all found in the ICD-10-CM Book in the guidelines about fracture coding. All fractures default to a displaced fracture if it is not documented as displaced or nondisplaced. (Displaced basically just means the bones are not lined up right). If the report specifies ‘nondisplaced’ fracture, then code it as nondisplaced.
A crown fracture can involve the pulp. Tooth fracture sequelae range in severity from cosmetic defects to tooth death. Involvement of the pulp is a more important indicator of severity of tooth fracture than is the amount of the tooth affected.
Fractured dental restorative material with loss of material. K08.531 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM K08.531 became effective on October 1, 2018.

811: Dental restoration status.
A fractured tooth, often called a cracked tooth or cracked tooth syndrome (CTS), is when a crack appears in your tooth. The crack can sometimes be small and harmless. Other times, it can cause your tooth to break or split. Tooth fractures are most common in children and older people, although anybody can crack a tooth.

Use of ICD-10 codes is supported by the American Dental Association. The ADA now includes both dental- and medical-related ICD-10 codes in its “CDT Code Book.” Dental schools have included the use of ICD-10 codes in their curricula to prepare graduating dentists for their use in practice.
Crown fractures are the most commonly reported dental injuries, characterized by fractures of the enamel (Figure 2) or enamel and dentin (Figure 3) . There is a loss of tooth structure but no pulpal exposure.
A crack in your tooth underneath a crown is a significant dental emergency. You should see a dentist as soon as possible to have the best chance of saving your natural tooth. Here's why you should seek emergency dental treatment for a crack in a tooth.
Complicated crown fractures are defined as fractures involving enamel and dentin with pulp exposure. These injuries produce changes in the exposed pulp tissues, and a biological and functional restoration represents an important clinical challenge.
Other specified disorders of teeth and supporting structures The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM K08. 89 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Treatments for a chipped, broken or cracked tooth include: gluing the fragment of tooth back on. a filling or a crown (a cap that completely covers the broken tooth) root canal treatment for a badly broken tooth where the nerves are exposed.

All fractures default to a “closed” fracture if it’s not documented. Closed fracture means that there’s a broken bone but it is not coming out through the skin. This is really gross to think about but since we’re coders, we have to. Basically, if the report states “open fracture,” you’d code it as open fracture.
But what that means is that the bone is so broken and messed up that you’d be able to see it. It’s through the skin (these are very bad fractures, sometimes from gunshot wounds and those types of injuries).
