Hi ELna,

I just saw the xray now, thanks for posting it! Has your dentist informed you of any other areas of concern? I see a few, do you want me to tell you what they are?

Regarding the two upper rc molars.... both of them had sinus communication and it appears likely that the infection had entered the sinus on both sides. So the dentist who removed them knew he was going to be in the sinus just based on this radio graph.

I don't know how you copied this xray, face down or not, so I don't know which is your left or right. However, looking at this photo on the left side of this xray, the infection from the rc molar appears to have spread quite far into the sinus and the health of the first molar may be in jeopardy from the infection and there appears to be some deterioration of the root structure of this molar tooth. This could be one reason why you are having so many post op complications. If that tooth is infected, it could prevent the sinus from closing. Has your dentist talked to you about this molar tooth?
