Denied
The Board denied service connection for periodontal disease, finding that the Veteran does not have a dental disability compensable under VA regulations.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show the existence of a compensable dental condition as defined by 38 C.F.R. § 4.150, and the Veteran's periodontal disease was not linked to any in-service injury or trauma.
