Partly granted
The veteran's claims for service connection for a dental condition and compensable ratings for residuals of a laceration and crush injury of the left little finger, and scar were denied. The claims for service connection for cervical strain and for a dental disability for treatment purposes were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence persuasively weighs against finding that a compensable dental disability has existed at any point during or approximate to the appeal period.
