That is exactly how it is written in the conclusion. In the findings, it says "no bony defect of the left maxillary alveolus. Status post removal of left maxillary molar crowns with remnant of the roots within the maxillary alveolus."
Is it normal to have roots left like that? The oral surgeon told me the roots were infected and in my sinus. He is at a dental conference all next week. Ugh!
Thanks
