The Board remands the claim for service connection of a dental disability, specifically cracked teeth, to obtain private medical records and ensure a complete record is available.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not document any dental treatment or current dental disability eligible for compensation under the criteria outlined by VA, necessitating further development.

What this means for you
A remand is not a loss. The Board sent the case back for more development — often a new exam or missing records — before making a final decision. Many remands later end in a grant, and the decision spells out exactly what the Board wanted to see.
