Dental prosthetics (e.g., dentures or crowns) may trigger pulpitis. “Dental prosthetics” generally refers to the fitting of artificial teeth. If the dentist performing the procedure lacks sufficient experience, mispositions the prosthesis, or inadvertently damages surrounding dental pulp tissue during placement, pulpitis may result. Patients are advised to seek treatment from qualified dental professionals at reputable dental clinics when undergoing prosthetic procedures. Additionally, maintaining good oral hygiene in daily life is essential.
