--- abstract: 'Maxillary sinusitis can cause pain or discomfort to the maxillary dentition but no report of patients complaining of a "jumping tooth sensation" during sinusitis has been recorded in the literature. This article presents a case of an unusual localised sensation from a maxillary right second premolar experienced while undergoing root canal treatment. This sensation was felt during walking while the patient was suffering an episode of influenza. This sensation first occurred following debridement of the root canal. However, it persisted even after the root canal had been sealed. A hypothetical explanation of this manifestation is proposed.' altloc: [] chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: - ngeowy@um.edu.my creators_name: - family: Ngeow given: W.C. honourific: Dr. lineage: '' date: 2000-02 date_type: published datestamp: 2012-04-25 13:04:19 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/81/59 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: 0 edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 8159 fileinfo: application/pdf;http://cogprints.org/8159/1/Unusual%20Tooth%20Sensation%20Due%20To%20Maxillary%20Sinusitis%2D%2DA%20Case%20Report.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: ~ item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'adult article case report female human influenza maxilla sinusitis premolar tooth tooth pain tooth pulp disease Bicuspid Humans Influenza, Human Maxillary Sinusitis Tooth, Nonvital Toothache' lastmod: 2012-04-25 13:04:19 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: 'Export Date: 7 March 2012 Source: Scopus PubMed ID: 11602949 Language of Original Document: English Correspondence Address: Ngeow, W.C.' number: 1 pagerange: 37-39 pubdom: TRUE publication: Singapore dental journal publisher: ~ refereed: TRUE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 8 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2012-04-25 13:04:19 subjects: - JOURNALS - OJHAS succeeds: ~ suggestions: "Associate Prof. Dr. Ngeow Wei Cheong @ David Ngeow\r\nDepartment of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry, University of\r\nMalaya, 50603 Kuala Lumpur, MALAYSIA\r\n\r\nAssociate Professor Dr. Ngeow Wei Cheong is currently a lecturer at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Malaya.

Three years later, he went to do a house job at the Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead, England. He obtained his Fellowship in Dental Surgery from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and the Royal College of Surgeons ofEngland in 1996.
