Diagnostic Utility

- Dental disease (alveolitis and apical abscesses) and dental infection
- Polidontia and oligodontia
- Dentígenos cysts, sinus or bone bone sequestration
- Sinusitis (air or fluid lines)
- Neoplasms (squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, osteoma, osteosarcoma, leiomyoma and ethmoid carcinomas)
- Osteodystrophia fibrosa
- Foreign bodies
- Sialoliths
- Dacryocystography (contrast radiology of the nasolacrimal duct)
