Billable Code

The ICD code K121 is used to code Denture-related stomatitis
denture-related stomatitis (also termed denture sore mouth, denture stomatitis, chronic atrophic candidiasis, candida-associated denture induced stomatitis, and denture-associated erythematous stomatitis) is a common condition where mild inflammation and redness of the oral mucous membrane occurs beneath a denture. in about 90% of cases, candida species are involved. this is normally a harmless component of the oral microbiota in many people. denture-related stomatitis is the most common form of oral candidiasis (a yeast infection of the mouth). it is more common in elderly people, and in those who wear a complete upper denture (a denture which replaces all the upper teeth, worn by someone with no natural teeth in their upper jaw). denture-related stomatitis is more likely to develop when the denture is left constantly in the mouth, rather than removing it during sleep, and when the denture is not cleaned regularly.
