ICD-10 code for tooth root fracture

The ICD-10-CM code for tooth root fracture is S02.5 (Fracture of tooth (traumatic)).

Within S02 (fracture of skull and facial bones), S02.5 is specifically for fracture of tooth (traumatic). Related codes cover fracture of vault of skull (S02.0), fracture of base of skull (S02.1), fracture of nasal bones (S02.2), fracture of orbital floor (S02.3), fracture of malar, maxillary and zygoma bones (S02.4), fracture of mandible (S02.6), fractures of other specified skull and facial bones (S02.8) and fracture of unspecified skull and facial bones (S02.9).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter for closed fracture, B for initial encounter for open fracture, D for subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing, G for subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing, K for subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

Don't report S02.5 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: cracked tooth (nontraumatic) (K03.81).
