Abstract
Background: Burn-out is an important issue in dentistry. It is considered as an occupational hazard. The main factors influencing the risk of burnout are age, working hours, the amount of patient files, household type and lifestyle of the dentist. Another important factor maybe the gender of the dentist. Since female dentists are becoming more the norm in dentistry, it is of interest to focus on this group. Material and Methods: In this literature study the factors are determined that are the major contributors for developing a burnout in female dentists. Moreover, these factors are also studied for female general practitioners, as this is a comparable profession. We consulted 11Pubmed11 and 11Scopus11 for articles related to female dentists and burnout. Results: This study showed that female dentists are not at much higher risk for developing a burnout compared to their male colleagues. Risk factors that play a role in this group are mainly the number of patient contacts and working hours. Moreover, age might slightly affect the risk of burnout. A factor influencing the risk of burnout in a positively way was combining work with family. Conclusions: This literature study showed that in general the differences in risk factors between male and female dentists were small. Important are factors such as an active attitude and maintaining social contacts that can reduce the risk of burnout.
