Images of mucosal thickening in the maxillary sinus. The CBCT (A) and panoramic radiograph (B) of a 58-year-old female with mucosal thickening >3 mm undergoing preoperative planning for implantation of a right maxillary molar. The CBCT (C) and panoramic radiograph (D) of a 66-year-old female with mucosal thickening <3 mm undergoing preoperative planning for implantation of a left maxillary molar. The mucosal thickening is clearly visualized on CBCT (A and C). However, the lesion >3 mm is visualized on panoramic radiographs (B), but that <3 mm is not (D).
