The conclusion runs as follows : 1. Most patients(64.8%) were young (under 10 years of age) and mean age was 8.6 years. 2. The primary reason(31.1%) why they chose general anesthesia was lack of child’s cooperation (normal but unmanageable). Following in order are mental retardation, Autism and cerebral palsy etc. 3. Resin restorations were performed most frequently(87.8%) followed by pulp treatment, preformed crown, extraction and sealant. 4. It takes 3 hours 10 minutes for general anesthesia on the average.
