title: Dental care--provision of one-time outpatient dental care for certain veterans. Final rule.
abstract: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is amending its regulations regarding the authority to provide one-time outpatient dental treatment to eligible veterans following discharge or release from active duty.

This rule is necessary to incorporate the statutory amendments into VA regulations.
