Sodium hypochlorite was inadvertently injected into the maxillary sinus during root canal treatment of the right maxillary first molar. Sterile water irrigation of the sinus was effected through the palatal canal. The expected sequelae of pain, significant edema, and hemorrhage were not experienced.
