    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology

    Background:

    • Maxillary antroliths are rare calcifications within the maxillary sinus.
    • They are often asymptomatic and discovered incidentally.

    Observation:

    • A case report details an incidental finding of a maxillary antrolith on a panoramic radiograph.
    • The study reviews the literature on antrolith etiology, clinical presentation, and radiographic characteristics.

    Findings:

    • Panoramic radiography can reveal maxillary antroliths.
    • Facial tomographs provide valuable diagnostic information for these calcifications.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the role of routine radiographic screening in detecting incidental sinus pathologies.
    • Understanding antrolith characteristics aids in accurate diagnosis and management planning.
