Augmentation of the maxillary sinus floor is a well-documented technique and many studies have examined the vertical relationship between the tooth root apex and the inferior wall of the maxillary sinus. However, very few studies have explored the horizontal relationship between the sinus and teeth. Our clinical case report describes a case involving periodontal osseous surgery where an inferior and horizontally expanded sinus was close to an angular infrabony defect of the molar teeth furcation that was covered with bulky lateral bone. After the sinus lift and guided tissue regeneration, we obtained good and stable results over the follow-up period. Osseous surgery of the posterior maxillary area should be conducted with caution and cone-beam computed tomography should be performed before periodontal surgery in order to lower the risk of sinus perforation.
