Aim: The aim of the present study was to assess the knowledge and practice of, and attitudes toward, protocols followed for pulp capping agents among post graduates, general dentists and specialists. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, observational survey was conducted using a closed ended, multiplechoice questionnaire evaluating the knowledge and practice of, and attitudes toward, protocols followed for pulp capping agents, which was formulated and attended by 209 dentists in chennai city. Descriptive statistics were done, followed by chi square test to test the association. Results: 40.66% of the respondents were females and 59.33% were males. The majority (70.33%) of respondents had less than 5 years of experience in clinics. Majority of participants were of the opinion that MTA is a better pulp capping agent as compared to calcium hydroxide and stated that the major reason for the failure of a pulp capped tooth is because of improper seal(36.84%). Respondents felt that MTA(44.01%) has a higher clinical success rate as a pulp capping agent as compared to biodentine (32.53%). 42.58 of the respondents stated that they only performed pulp capping sometimes but highly recommended the use of a rubber dam isolation (64.59%). Conclusion: The participants of this survey had a general knowledge about pulp capping, but it can be emphasised that special training for the same would be required to acquire the adequate knowledge along with proper handling of readily available materials required for this procedure.
