Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for missing teeth (teeth 6, 7, 8) to obtain a medical opinion regarding the etiology of the Veteran's missing teeth.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record is insufficient to determine whether any of the Veteran's teeth were lost due to loss of substance of the body of the maxilla or mandible and/or whether the Veteran's missing teeth are considered replaceable and thus not eligible for compensation purposes.
