[Oradlist] CBCT question

[Koenig, Lisa]

Dear Colleagues,  Now that I have a CBCT it seems that I am asked everyday if someone could have one just because it would be cool. The attached Pan shows a well-defined radiopacity in the left maxillary sinus area...possible osteoma/exostosis...ginormous antrolith. My question is can a CBCT be justified in a case like this?  (Obviously the CBCT would show the exact location)  Thanks, Lisa
