You are correct, i confused that with what another local Oral surgeon
said (who I never went to). here is what you did say.
(I only post it because there is nothing in your comments
unfit for anyone to see and you made clear you were not an
expert in CT interpretation):

"I have no training in the reading of CAT scans. However, I do see the
swelling in what I assume to be your left maxillary sinus.
The full-skull scan certainly seems to indicate very serious bone
destruction of the maxilla. As I do not interpret these kinds of scans
I cannot tell how much overlap of the sinus on the image accounts for
what looks like a major loss of bone. If I am interpreting this
correctly, I must assume there is a very significant defect, and wonder
if you have had any kind of reconstructive surgery" -endquote.

To everyone: That area was very near the "leaky" filling by the way and
I even had high levels of copper in my blood right before removal.

I just want to make clear to everybody that Jan's having Hg problems
and then bone infection is not fantasy land, but the two are very
closely connected and it does happen to a number of people even if
it doesn't affect most people. This is very real.
