Method: This is a prospective study, 36 cases of dental procedures performed under general anaesthesia which was taken from Teaching hospital, Department of dentistry in Konaseema region. Results: The average age of the patients was 12 years. General anaesthesia were given to these patients because of cooperation difficulties in 21(58.4%), paediatric patients, mental retardation in 5 (13.8%) patients, and jaw surgery/ maxillofacial surgery in10 (27.8%) patients. Conclusion: During dental procedures in paediatric patients under general anaesthesia is important due to the frequency of genetic syndromes and mental retardation. Non cooperative paediatric patients, dental fear and lengthy procedures on paediatric patients were the main reasons for the use of conservative, comprehensive general anaesthesia in dental procedures
