The Board denied service connection for a TMJ condition and a dental condition, but remanded the issue of service connection for a peripheral vestibular disorder (claimed as dizziness and vertigo).
The deciding factor: The probative evidence did not establish that the Veteran's claimed conditions were related to his active-duty service.
