Table 5 Changes in the detection rates of SOLs according to the extent of SOLs in the maxillary sinus on panoramic radiographs in 61 patients

From: The significance of cone beam computed tomography for the visualization of anatomical variations and lesions in the maxillary sinus for patients hoping to have dental implant-supported maxillary restorations in a private dental office in Japan
