Figure 1.
Computed tomography images of the therapeutic efficacy of tooth extraction and irrigation for odontogenic maxillary sinusitis (OMS). Depending upon the extent of remaining of maxillary sinus mucosal lesions, therapeutic effect was scored as Grade 1 (0% remaining mucosal thickening, disappearance of lesions), Grade 2 (roughly 10% remaining), Grade 3 (roughly 30% remaining), Grade 4 (roughly 50% remaining) and Grade 5 (100% remaining, no improvement), respectively. Upper panel: horizontal section; Lower panel: coronal section.
