Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for a dental disability, claimed as trauma to teeth number 9 and 10, due to in-service dental trauma for compensation purposes.
The deciding factor: There was no evidence of bone loss due to in-service trauma or osteomyelitis, and replaceable missing teeth are not considered disabling for VA disability compensation purposes.
