Help interpreting dental radiographs

Hi everyone...
I have an oral test interpreting these two radiographs tomorrow, and I was wondering if you could help, in case I missed anything.

What the structure above the maxillary sinus in the periapical? My first thought would be the zygomatic process, but shouldn't that be a bit lower?

Thanks in advance,
Dania

Hi Dania

I think you are correct !
that is the zygomatic process

good Luck with your Exam

Yay thanks! Did you notice anything else of significance that I may be asked about?

Thank you again

I recommend you to focus on the other anatomical and radiographical landmarks. Ex😛eriodontal space , lamina dura and pulp space .

Regarding the periapical radiograph
There is proximal caries i.r.t #3

Regarding the bite-wing one :
There is proximal caries i.r.t the lower 1st premolar

clearly there is also impaction of the 3rd molars

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! My professor saw very superficial caries on the proximal surfaces of the upper premolars on the bitewing, but I couldn't see anything, can you?

Also, could you look at these two radiographs of it's not an inconvenience?

I am Happy to help !

The way to detect the proximal caries radiographically is to observe any radiolucencies in the dentin and enamel in the proximal region .

Regarding the first radiograph there is incisal tooth loss i.r.t #31 and #41. There is also vertical defect proximally between the two incisors.It might be periodontal Abscess , but it needs more investigation.

With regards to the second one . There is widen periodontal space i.r.t the mesial side of the lower second molar . There is also proximal caries between the upper and lower premolars .
