The Board has determined that service connection is granted for the dental condition (residuals of a fracture, and subsequent loss of tooth number 11) for treatment purposes only. Service connection for compensation purposes was denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports finding that the Veteran's injury to tooth number 11 was as a result of an in-service dental trauma.
