Denied
The Board denied service connection for the veteran's loss of teeth because it is not a compensable dental disability under VA regulations.
The deciding factor: The Veteran does not have a current dental disorder that qualifies for VA disability compensation purposes stemming from his period of active duty, as loss of teeth is not a disability for which compensation benefits are payable.
