Combat Dental Trauma VA Disability Rating is rated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs under DC 9913 of 38 C.F.R. § 4.150 across 3 severity tiers (40% -- Loss of all teeth, prosthesis cannot be constructed / 20% -- Significant tooth loss / 10% -- Partial tooth loss from trauma). Service connection requires (1) a current diagnosis, (2) an in-service event, injury, or exposure, and (3) a medical nexus opinion linking the two under 38 C.F.R. § 3.303.
Combat dental trauma provides both compensation and lifetime dental treatment eligibility. Class II(a) dental treatment for any service trauma. Each lost tooth documented separately.
Combat Dental Trauma (DC 9913) is evaluated under 38 C.F.R. § 4.150 using the dental rating framework. Because it is rated by analogy to the general schedule, the 3 levels below describe the body-system criteria the VA applies — the percentage assigned to Combat Dental Trauma depends on the specific findings (range of motion, frequency, severity, or functional loss) documented at the C&P exam and in the medical record.
Rating criteria reference 38 C.F.R. Part 4 (Schedule for Rating Disabilities). This entry has not yet undergone editorial review against the live regulation text — consult the authoritative source directly before relying on the criteria shown.
