    Author: Gorter RC, Eijkman MA, te Brake JH.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Tandheelkd; 2001 Feb; 108(2):54-8. PubMed ID: 11383280.
    Abstract:
    This study aimed at monitoring stressful work factors as indicated by Dutch general dental practitioners. Special attention was given to gender differences. Apart from mental pressure also physical pressure was studied. It appeared that among all dentists patient related aspects were considered stressful, als well as external interference by government, insurance company, etc. Male dentists also felt pressure from a lack of career perspective and dental office management, whereas female dentists felt pressure from unexpected or uncertain professional situations. Dentists appeared to have a good physical health, when compared with Dutch reference scores, although some job specific physical complaints could be detected. In the discussion the importance of early career planning is emphasized.
