# Vital Pulp Therapy

## Definition

A group of treatments that aim to preserve all or part of a living pulp rather than removing it, including indirect and direct pulp capping and pulpotomy. Calcium-silicate materials are often used to encourage a hard-tissue barrier. It is generally considered when the pulp is judged able to heal, such as in selected cases of reversible or early irreversible pulpitis.
