Introduction: burnout syndrome is professional burnout resulting from chronic work stress with a three-dimensional complex characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal fulfillment derived from work due to direct contact with patients.
Objective: To estimate the frequency of severe burnout syndrome among dentists of Health Centers from Acapulco, Mexico.
Material And Methods: Cross-sectional design in a convenience sample of 80 dentists with the application of a self-administered questionnaire of 44 items during march to may 2022. The instrument contained the Maslach-Burnout Inventory of 22 items with Likert-type categorical responses, which established a global score with the sum of the three dimensions. A binary logistic regression analysis was applied based on the cut-off point established with SPSS V.24.0 statistical software.
Results: The 50% of the dentists presented severe burnout. A related factor was found, the type of employment contract, in the category of temporary and fee contract (p=0.04).
Conclusion: Actions should be taken to improve labor stability conditions for dentists, through the recognition of their work, in order to improve the types of contracting in public health institutions.

Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) usually affect the stomatognathic system and can be symptomatic. Patients often self-medicate to relieve symptoms, and this can increase the risk of complications such as adverse drug reactions, overdose, physical and psychological dependence, and delay of appropriate treatment. It is important for dentists to know the prevalence of self-medication to investigate this condition in their patients, thus the primary aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of self-medication among university students with no TMD, non-painful TMD and painful TMD and the secondary aim was to assess association with independent factors.
