The present study was conducted to assess profile of subjects undergoing endodontic treatment. Materials & Methods: 100 subjects more than 18 years of age who underwent endodontic treatment of both genders were recruited in the study. Parameters such ad type of endodontically treated tooth, reasons for endodontic treatment and type of endodontic treatment given was recorded. Results: Out of 100 subjects, 40 were boys and 60 were girls. Etiology for endodontic treatment was dental caries in 52 and dental trauma in 48 subjects. The difference was non- significant (P> 0.05). Conclusion: Most common etiology for endodontic treatment was dental caries. Most common tooth involved was permanent lateral incisors and most common procedure performed was pulpotomy.
