case_images: In a clinical examination, the tissue of palatal bone and alveolar ridge was found normal (figure 1), but there was grayish secretion from the right nostril.
case_images: Cropped panoramic of the patient revealing no residual root and no infection but the right maxillary sinus showed increased mucosal thickening

case_images: In panoramic view we noticed no residual root and no infection, but the right maxillary sinus showed increased mucosal thickening (figure 2).
case_images: Coronal view of CBCT showing complete opacification of right maxillary sinus with calcified particles (red arrows). Notice Invasion to lateral wall of middle turbinate and the right OMC was blocked. Also, there was noticeable of palatal bone erosion (blue arrow)
