Angels,

The maxillary alveolus is the bony socket that holds the roots of the tooth. It is not the sinus. The description of the report is not clear the way it is written here. Could you re-post it with the exact wording and punctuation?

Thanks,
Bryanna

It looks as though everything is normal (which I can't believe) but one question I have for you. It says:

"status post removal of left maxillary tooth crowns with remnants of the molar roots within the maxillary alveolus. No adjacent cortical irregularity or erosion"

Is that normal? I think it means that tooth roots are still in my sinus? Could that be causing my problems?

There is something definitely not right and I am starting to look like a crazy person because every ct comes out normal! The only other thing I can think of is it is the Pseudomonas and maybe it doesn't show up on the ct?

Thank you
