Denied
The Board denied service connection for a dental disorder and an eye disorder, finding that the evidence did not support a link between these conditions and the Veteran's active service.
The deciding factor: The examiner found no relationship between the Veteran's current dental and eye disorders and his in-service experiences, attributing them to post-service factors such as periodontal disease and normal aging processes.
