**The ENT and the oral surgeon need to collaborate on this infection as it could be that the surgical site is still infected.... the graft may be infected... the sinus may have additional infection. They need to work together.**


The ENT did the CT scan and has recommended surgery to clear out my sinuses. I'm wondering will that same CT scan have shown him whether my graft or graft site was infected? How do we tell if the graft itself is infected if the inside of my mouth is "fine" The gums are tender...i'm not sure though because we know sinus pressure does this too.

If i have the sinuses surgically cleaned i want to make sure the infection won't recur as a result of it being originated at the graft site.

Since the new OS just referred me to an ENT...how do i convince them i think the infection is in the graft? how can we tell?
