One) If the script read something like..... Scan area of the upper left quadrant post removal of teeth and root remnants. It could mean the "current" status post removal of such and such was found to be normal.
Two) If the script read something like .... Scan area of upper left quadrant post removal of teeth for retained root remnants, etc. It could mean the current status shows root remnants were found in the maxillary alveolus.
At least that is my interpretation of it. Do you see what I mean?

Yes, I do. I think it was a finding? Is that normal to have roots left after an extraction?
