The Board has denied service connection for right knee injury residuals, left knee injury residuals, and a broken tooth. The case is now remanded to the RO for further examination and development.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claim was previously denied due to lack of evidence linking his current conditions to active service. Further examination is needed to determine if there are any new findings or diagnoses that could support service connection.
