Background: Teeth are one of the important components of the stomatognathic system in humans. Teeth have a role in the process of chewing, speaking, and aesthetics. One disease that commonly occurs in teeth is cavities or caries. Pulpitis is a condition of the pulp that is inflamed because it is infected by an irritant. Pulpitis that is not treated and continues will be able to cause the pulp to necrosis, therefore it is very important to maintain the vitality of the pulp so that the teeth can still function. In the Dental Polyclinic section at UPTD Puskesmas Kediri I, pulpitis ranked third in the most dental cases in the period December 2023 to February 2024.
