ICD-10 code for dental implant endosseous failure
From the official ICD-10-CM alphabetic index entry “Failure, failed › dental implant (endosseous)”. Page updated September 29, 2026.
About coding dental implant endosseous failure
The ICD-10-CM code for dental implant endosseous failure is M27.69 (Other endosseous dental implant failure). The official index lists 17 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on M27.69.
Within M27.6, choose M27.69 (Other endosseous dental implant failure) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: Osseointegration failure of dental implant (M27.61), Post-osseointegration biological failure of dental implant (M27.62) and Post-osseointegration mechanical failure of dental implant (M27.63).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 011 (Tracheostomy for Face, Mouth and Neck Diagnoses or Laryngectomy with MCC, relative weight 5.6154), DRG 012 (Tracheostomy for Face, Mouth and Neck Diagnoses or Laryngectomy with CC, relative weight 4.381), DRG 013 (Tracheostomy for Face, Mouth and Neck Diagnoses or Laryngectomy without CC/MCC, relative weight 2.7307), DRG 157 (Dental and Oral Diseases with MCC, relative weight 1.809), DRG 158 (Dental and Oral Diseases with CC, relative weight 0.9366) and DRG 159 (Dental and Oral Diseases without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6893), in Pre-MDC and MDC 03 (Diseases and Disorders of the Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
