what is the name of dental procedure that we open the sinus to get the root tips ? Caldwell somthing.. anybody know ?
 
Caldwell-luc procedure used to be the preferred method of surgery for chronic maxillary sinusitis, but that procedure has mostly been replaced with functional endoscopic sinus surgery, except in a few select patients.

Caldwell-luc procedure is associated with a higher prevalence of significant complications.
