Sinus-related pain is frequently encountered in dental practice. Distinguishing between odontogenic pain and sinus-origin pain is essential for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. CBCT imaging plays a critical role in identifying radiographic features of paranasal sinus conditions. This presentation will review how CBCT can assist dental professionals in differentiating sinus pathology from dental disease and improve diagnostic accuracy.
