Zufallsbefund Sinusitis in der kieferorthopädischen Röntgendiagnostik

Frage

Röntgenanalysen sind ein wesentlicher Baustein der kieferorthopädischen Diagnostik. Gar nicht so selten erkennt man auf den Röntgenbildern Veränderungen in den Nebenhöhlen, insbesondere im Sinus maxillaris. Wann sollten solche Zufallsbefunde Anlass zur weiterführender Diagnostik und gegebenenfalls Therapie geben?
