Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for loss of teeth and a compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the veteran's dental disability was due to loss of substance of body of maxilla or mandible due to in-service trauma or disease, nor did it meet the criteria for a compensable rating based on hearing acuity levels.
