title: An incidental finding on a diagnostic CBCT: a case report.
abstract: It is known that Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) provides reliable spatial data and has many clinical applications for dental and particularly orthodontic patients. The present article provides a short review of the literature and reports an unusual CBCT finding in an orthodontic patient referred for the assessment of impacted upper canines. A unilateral lesion in the left maxillary sinus, was an incidental finding. Following a histological examination, which revealed unilateral nasal polyps, surgical removal was performed as the treatment of choice.
