Abstract
Facial bone scintigraphy with 99mTc-DP [99mTc-diphosphonate] was compared with radiographic examination of the maxillary sinuses. In a clinical routine series patients who were considered to have inflammatory disorders of the maxillary sinus were observed. Scintigraphy correlated better to the presence of purulent inflammatory lesion than radiography. Bone tissue reaction is almost mandatory for the diagnosis of purulent maxillary inflammatory disorder.
