Hi Craig,
Some sinus perforations close on their own, others need to be surgically repaired. However, if there was infection in the bone in that area and it had traveled to her sinuses.... the perf could still be open.
What is the ENT doing for your wife?? Does he know about her full dental history about this tooth being root canaled and infected?

My wife has been seen by an ENT for over a year now. He initially ordered a CT scan and has examined my wife many times but has never found a problem. He continues to have my wife come back to see him every few months, to keep tabs on her I suppose. He's never mentioned a 3D scan, but we will certainly ask him about at her next appointment!
