Introduction: In our modern society, burnout syndrome develops over a long period of time because of constant stress and increased emotional pressure. Dentistry is known as one of the most stressful professions. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of burnout syndrome among dentists in Mureș County, Romania, and to assess the determining factors associated with burnout. Material and methods: We conducted an online survey regarding burn-out syndrome among dentists. Results: The most frequent complaint among respondents was the loss of personal accomplishment, followed by emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. Higher levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization were seen in non-married, male dentists between 51–60 years, who worked more than 8 hours a day without an assistant.
