CBCT Diagnosis: Case #8

This patient was referred due to non specific pain in the area of #13. There were no signs or symptoms of any discomfort. After three root canal treatments on tooth #13 with no resolution of her vague symptoms and a crown preparation on #14 was also performed with no resolution. A consultation with a CBCT was taken showing an enlarged sinus membrane in contact with the roots of #14. A diagnosis of Partial necrosis was established for tooth #14. After initiating treatment she returned 2 weeks later for completion and reported that she can now breath from that side and she was now able to discern scents much better. 12 months after the endodontic procedure of #14 was completed a follow up CBCT was taken showing an almost fully healed sinus membrane.
