## Discrepancy

IAH - DURING MAINTENANCE INSPECTION THREE SMALL DENTS WERE FOUND ON THE R/H FUSELAGE SKIN JUST BELOW THE FIRST OFFICERS' DV WINDOW. MAINTENANCE RECONTOURED TWO DENTS AND PERFORMED A DOUBLER REPAIR ON THE MIDDLE DENT. ALL OPERATIONAL / PRESSURIZATION CHECKS WERE SATISFACTORY AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS APPROVED FOR RETURN TO SERVICE.
