Further investigative questions included the need of pulp therapy in primary teeth, knowledge about pulp treatment, importance of pulp treatment, number of dental visits, reason of dental visit, filling of carious tooth and preference of pulp therapy.Results: The total number of questionnaires filled by participants was n=736. Out of which, 104 (14%) were males and 632 (86%) females. As far as the educational levels were concerned, 81 (11%) had completed primary school, 110 (15%) had completed high school and 545 (74%) were graduates from university.Conclusions: Overall there was no statistically significant difference between the subgroups of gender and educational level.
