Abstract
This document amends the Department of Veterans Affairs adjudication regulations for determining whether dental conditions are service-connected for purposes of eligibility for outpatient dental treatment. This amendment clarifies requirements for service connection of dental conditions and provides that VA will consider certain dental conditions service-connected for treatment purposes if they are shown in service after a period of 180 days.
