Characteristics of Idiomatic Expressions:
- Non-literal meaning: The meaning is not obvious from the individual words.
- Fixed expression: The words are used in a specific order and cannot be changed.
- Cultural significance: Many idiomatic expressions are culturally specific and may not translate well to other languages.
Types of Idiomatic Expressions:
- Verb + Preposition: e.g., "get on" (board a bus or train), "turn off" (stop something from working)
- Verb + Adverb: e.g., "turn up" (increase the volume), "get on" (make progress)
- Verb + Preposition + Adverb: e.g., "get on with" (continue doing something), "put up with" (tolerate something)

Causes of Pulpitis
Bacterial Infection
- Bacterial infection is the most common cause of pulpitis
- Bacteria can enter the pulp through various routes, including:
- Dental caries
- Tooth fracture
- Cracks in the tooth
- Periodontal disease
- Bacterial toxins and enzymes stimulate an inflammatory response in the pulp
Trauma
- Blunt trauma to the tooth can cause pulpitis
- Examples of traumatic events include:
- Falling and hitting the tooth
- Being hit in the mouth
- Biting or chewing on something hard
- Trauma can lead to bleeding and inflammation in the pulp
Corrosion or Erosion
- Acid erosion can occur due to:
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Bulimia
- Frequent consumption of acidic foods and drinks
- Corrosion can occur due to:
- Chrome or other metals
- Amalgam or other dental materials
Iatrogenic Factors
- Improper dental procedures can cause pulpitis, including:
- Over-instrumentation during root canal therapy
- Over-preparation of the tooth during restorative procedures
- Use of harsh chemicals or medicaments
- These factors can cause mechanical or chemical irritation of the pulp
Other Factors
- Genetic predisposition can contribute to pulpitis
- Systemic diseases, such as:
- Diabetes
- Hypertension
- Autoimmune disorders
