Three cases of endodontically‐induced maxillary sinusitis are presented. Two of the cases had previously been treated with overextension of gutta‐percha points. The 3rd patient had been treated endodontically approximately 15 years earlier. All patients were treated with surgical removal of the endodontic material via an intraoral approach to the sinus.
