This study aimed to investigate the relationship between academic burnout in dental students and stress in the dentistry environment, considering issues arising from job stress and burnout. Analytical-cross-sectional in nature, the present study used available sampling approaches. Data from dental students were gathered for this study using the dental environment stress (DES) and Burnout clinical subtype questionnaire (BCSQ-12-SS). Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U, linear regression tests, and Spearman's correlation coefficient were used to analyze the data using SPSS23 software. The participants in this study had an average age of 24.25. According to reports, the average academic burnout score was 2.61 out of a possible 5. The overload dimension had the greatest impact on burnout. It was found that the clinical education feature of DES was the most influential with a mean score of 2.80 out of a possible 4. Academic burnout and dental environment stress were found to be directly correlated (P < 0.001). The study's findings suggest that stress levels in the dental field are high and academic burnout among dental students is average. Given the clear link between stress and burnout, more work needs to be done to reduce stress in the dental setting, particularly in the area of clinical education.
