More than 80% of children required treatment for more than ten teeth (p>0.05). Overall restorative procedures (60%), extractions (26%), and preventive procedures (14%) were performed under GA (p<0.05). Among, restorative procedures stainless steel crowns (54.2%) were given more priority than other restorative materials. Conclusions: Dental caries was found to be a common reason for DGA.
