Disturbances in tooth formation

This code represents various developmental anomalies affecting the structure and morphology of teeth, excluding those primarily related to color or specific systemic conditions. It encompasses conditions where the tooth's shape, size, or tissue composition is abnormal due to disturbances during odontogenesis.

Use this code for documented conditions such as dens invaginatus, gemination, fusion, concrescence, taurodontism, or enamel hypoplasia/hypocalcification not specified as mottled. Documentation should clearly describe the specific developmental anomaly affecting tooth formation.

• Differentiate from K00.3 (mottled teeth), which specifically refers to discoloration.
• Review documentation carefully to ensure the disturbance is truly developmental and not acquired.
• Always check for associated systemic conditions, as some tooth formation disturbances are secondary manifestations.
