As shown in Figure 1, two datasets regarding irreversible pulpitis were analyzed by performing differential expression analysis to identify DEGs and DElncRNAs, by carrying out functional enrichment analysis to identify signaling pathways, by constructing the DEG-TF network to identify critical TFs, and finally by building lncRNA-associated ceRNA network to identify the critical genes, miRNAs, and lncRNAs. Here, TF is linked to pulpitis.
