Dentists handling the situation should have adequate knowledge in this field. Objective To assess the level of knowledge of emergency management of avulsed teeth among general dentists in Kathmandu.

Descriptive analysis was carried out to assess the frequency. Results General dentists of Kathmandu did not have adequate knowledge about emergency management of avulsed teeth.
