Considering the problems caused by job stress and the burnout caused by this stress, the purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between dental environment stress and academic burnout in dental students. The current study was analytical-cross-sectional and sampling was done by available methods. In this study, the Dental Environment Stress (DES) and Burnout Clinical Subtype Questionnaire (BCSQ-12-SS) were used to collect information from dental students. Data were analyzed using SPSS23 software and Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U, linear regression tests, and Spearman's correlation coefficient. In this study, the average age of the participants was 24.25. The average score of academic burnout was reported as 2.61 out of the maximum score of 5. The most influencing dimension of burnout was related to the overload dimension. The average score of DES was reported as 2.80 out of the maximum score of 4, and the most influential dimension of DES was the dimension of clinical education. A direct correlation was reported between dental environment stress and academic burnout (P<0.001). According to the results of this study, it can be said that academic burnout among dental students is average, and stress in the dental environment is high. Considering the direct relationship between stress and burnout, more efforts should be made to reduce stress in the dental environment, especially in the field of clinical education.
