Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for a dental disability (loss of teeth #7 and 8) for compensation purposes, but remanded the claims for stroke, left knee, right knee, and dental treatment only.
The deciding factor: The loss of teeth was not due to the loss of substance of the body of maxilla or mandible. The remaining issues were remanded for further development.
