Objective: To investigate the attitude of the dentists towards modern endodontic treatment options and to study the association of the no. of patients treated and the type of tooth treated with the preferred method of working length determination, method of magnification, instrumentation and the drug regimen followed by them. Methods: A questionnaire-based cross-sectional, descriptive survey was conducted among the dentists who are enrolled under the Masters of Dental Surgery (MDS) (postgraduates) curriculum or have completed MDS and are into speciality or general partitioning in different dental colleges of India from November 2020 to March 2020. A total of 1601 dentists enrolled in the study. A self-fabricated questionnaire was prepared and validated. It was made into Google Form format and the link was emailed and shared among the eligible participants. There were twenty self-explanatory closed-ended questions themed on __ampersandsignldquo;Root Canal Treatment practices__ampersandsignrdquo;. Results: The study findings depict that most of the dentists treated multi-rooted tooth and it was seen that the MDS other branch practitioners treated more than ten patients every week followed by Endodontists. It was seen most of the dentists preferred the combination method of working length determination and the technique of instrumentation. A strong correlation between the number and type of tooth treated with the preference of drug prescribed was observed. Conclusion: The study findings reveal that there is still a lack of adaptation of various modern endodontic practices, which recommends the need to incorporate training of the postgraduate students about the advanced methods of endodontic practice&#13;
