The Board denied service connection for a dental disorder, diagnosed as advanced periodontal disease, for compensation purposes. The issues of entitlement to service connection for bilateral elbow condition, bilateral ankle condition, and bilateral wrist condition were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show a compensable dental disability that was the result of loss of substance of the body of the maxilla or mandible due to any in-service dental trauma or bone disease. The Veteran's claims for service connection for bilateral elbow, ankle, and wrist conditions were remanded for further development.
