The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for a dental disorder for treatment purposes as it has not been adjudicated by the VHA.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to lack of determination by VHA regarding the Veteran's eligibility for dental treatment under 38 C.F.R. § 17.161.

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.
