INTRODUCTION: Vital pulp therapy is a treatment in which the pulp is preserved and maintained. This therapy is done if the pulp is damaged by caries, traumatic incidents or during restorative procedures. Dental caries which reach pulp causes pulp irritation which leads to inflammation of the pulp and it changes into reversible and irreversible changes of pulp where reversible can be treated using vital pulp therapy and the irreversible change ends in necrosis of pulp. The main goals of vital pulp therapy are dentin formation and development of the root. Vital pulp therapy includes procedures like pulp capping (Direct and Indirect), pulpotomy and Apexification. The most important benefit of vital pulp therapy is that it protects the tooth from masticatory forces and when compared to root canal treatment. The main aim of this study is to determine the knowledge, awareness and perception regarding vital pulp therapy.
