The ICD code K047 is used to code Tricho-Dento-Osseous Syndrome
tricho-dento-osseous syndrome (tdo) meaning hair, teeth, and bones respectively, is a rare, systemic, genetic disorder that causes defects in these structures. this disease is present at birth. tdo has been shown to occur in areas of close geographic proximity and within families; most recent documented cases are virginia, tennessee, and north carolina. the cause of this disease is a mutation in the dlx3 (distal-less 3) gene, which controls hair follicle differentiation and induction of bone formation. one-hundred percent of patients with tdo suffer from two co-existing conditions called enamel hypoplasia and taurodontism in which the abnormal growth patterns of the teeth result in severe external and internal defects.[3 1] the hair defects are characterized as being rough, course, with profuse shedding. dental defects are characterized by dark-yellow/brownish colored teeth, thin and/or possibly pitted enamel, that is malformed. the teeth can also look normal in color, but also have a physical impression of extreme fragility and thinness in appearance. additionally, severe underbites where the top and bottom teeth fail to correctly align may be present; it is common for the affected individual to have a larger, more pronounced lower jaw and longer bones. the physical deformities that tdo causes become more noticeable with age, and emotional support for the family as well as the affected individual is frequently recommended. adequate treatment for tdo is a team based approach, mostly involving physical therapists, dentists, and oromaxillofacial surgeons. genetic counseling is also recommended.
