Introduction: Endodontic treatment is an important dental procedure to preserve the tooth; however, in many cases patients have limited information, which could be related to the perception towards the treatment. Objective: To determine the association between the level of knowledge and perception of endodontic treatment in patients attending a dental center in Chiclayo in the year 2023. Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional research with observational design, 196 patients who attended the Specialized Center for Dental Training in the city of Chiclayo from September to October 2023 participated. Participants between 18 and 60 years of age who came for dental care and who wished to participate in the research were included. A previously validated questionnaire was used to measure knowledge and perception of endondontia treatment. Results: It was found that 77% of the patients had a high level of knowledge, while 68.9% had a good level of perception. In addition, it was observed that there was a statistically significant association between the level of knowledge, sex, age group and level of education; in contrast to perception, where a statistically significant association was only found between level of education. Conclusion: An association was found between knowledge and perception of endodontic treatment in patients who attended a dental center in Chiclayo in the year 2023.
