Denied
The Board denied service connection for a dental disability, specifically periodontal disease, for compensation purposes as the condition is not recognized by VA for compensation benefits.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's current condition of periodontal disease does not meet the criteria for establishing entitlement to service connection for a dental disability for compensation purposes.
