Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a dental disorder, specifically traumatic fracture of teeth numbers 8 and 9, as there was no evidence showing that the condition manifested as or more nearly approximated loss of teeth due to the loss of substance of the body of the maxilla or mandible.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's current dental condition did not meet the criteria for a compensable disability under VA regulations, as it did not result in the loss of teeth due to the loss of substance of the body of the maxilla or mandible.
