K05.10 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of chronic gingivitis, plaque induced. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code K051 is used to code Gingivitis

Gingivitis ("inflammation of the gum tissue") is a non-destructive periodontal disease. The most common form of gingivitis, and the most common form of periodontal disease overall, is in response to bacterial biofilms (also called plaque) adherent to tooth surfaces, termed plaque-induced gingivitis. Gingivitis is reversible with good oral hygiene. However, in the absence of treatment, or if not controlled, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, where the inflammation results in tissue destruction and alveolar bone resorption, which can ultimately lead to tooth loss.

Chronic gingivitis, plaque induced (exact match)

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 523.10 was previously used, K05.10 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
