While the practice of dentistry has been demonstrated to be significantly stressful, there have been few published studies describing interventions to reduce the stress of dental practitioners. This article describes research into the prevention and alleviation of stress amongst a variety of healthcare professionals, including dental practitioners, and describes the findings from a small scale study of an intervention aimed at general dental practitioners who reported high levels of work related stress. It is argued that to be effective, interventions should be tailored to the individual needs of the practitioner, within a structured intervention framework. Further research into the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of stress management for dental practitioners is required.

Article Synopsis
- Postgraduate opportunities for oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) vary greatly between medical foundation year (FY) doctors and dental core trainees (DCTs), with 2023-24 data showing more than 11 times as many posts for DCTs.
- The study utilizes data from UK foundation schools and Health Education England to analyze this disparity, emphasizing the significance of interprofessional education (IPE) and collaboration (IPC).
- The aim is to raise awareness of the unique learning environment in OMFS and encourage further research into the impact of different professional backgrounds on team dynamics and patient care.
