Here is the story. I had a root apicoectomy (the 24 molar) and there was a sinus membrane perforation. I don't know if this is an error or not. After surgery I had no pain at all but my left side nostril felt a little strange.

Now after two months I did an X-ray and I found out that one root (of the two) was not operated.

The doctor said that is ok but I feel like I have something in my nose. My concern is that the root left untreated (in the same size as before) is keeping the sinusal membrane from closing. I'm not a physician so maybe you will find my conclusion imposible from your point of view.

I had a little cold so maybe this can be the answer.

To get a second opinion I have to travel in another town because there is only one doctor here.

I can attach some X-rays if somebody can use them to solve the mistery.

Thank you all for reading my post. You have a great forum here.
