The persistence and intensity of stressors, in addition to the characteristics and functions of each person, associated with efforts and failures to deal with stress and its consequences, can lead the worker to develop chronic labor exhaustion, reaching the most severe form of stress at work, the burnout. The dental surgeon is a victim of stress sources in the public sector. Objective: Identify the dentists who work in the Centers of Dental Specialties (CDSs) in the municipalities of João Pessoa and Cabedelo in Paraíba, Brazil, which are more likely to develop Burnout Syndrome (BS). Methodology: The quantitative approach was chosen, with a descriptive character, with data collection via structured questionnaire (socio-demographic data and MBI-HSS). Results: Thirty dentists volunteered, the majority being female (63.3%); Age group above 35 years (80%); 70% have Specialization; 13.3% Master’s Degree, 6.7% PhD and 10% have another type of postgraduate degree. BS is a state of fatigue or frustration caused by dedication to a cause, a lifestyle, or a relationship that has failed to generate expected reward. It is not necessarily the result of overwork, but it configures a gap between the effort made and the reward received. Multidimensional syndrome or construct characterized by three components: Emotional/physical Exhaustion (EE), Depersonalization (DE), and Decreased Personal Accomplishment/personal involvement in work (PA). Discussion: The dental surgeons who work in the CDSs: 6.7% showed signs of SB; 30% are at high risk; 20% in medium risk; and 43.3% at low risk of acquiring SB. They had high and medium level of EE and DE: 26.7% had high scores in the EE dimension (imbalance between individual and work, generating physical and emotional exhaustion), and 23.3% in DE dimension (consequence of emotional exhaustion); Already in the PA there was 50% of low level, being this dimension the most striking and worrying, to be analyzed inverted. CDSs intervention programs are needed, including prevention and control of BS, as well as developing coping skills to help professionals handle stressful work situations. There is an improvement in the social context and working conditions of those involved because it is not only an individual but an organizational problem. *Corresponding author: Stephanie Albuquerque de Souza Brandão, UNIPÊ-University Center of João Pessoa, Rua José Patrício de Almeida, 79/102.

Int J Oral Dent Health 2018, 4:075 first concerns the feelings of fatigue and the reduction of the emotional resources fundamental so that the person can deal with the stressful situation [16]. The second dimension is a dynamic process manifested mainly by the development of negative attitudes and feelings, skepticism, insensitivity, disrespect and disregard for people related to work [13,15]. The third component can be perceived by the loss of the feeling of accomplishment in the work with low productivity [15]. Although this syndrome is not yet widely explored in the Brazilian literature [5], some researchers [6-8] talk about the high prevalence of the syndrome among dentists, which results in low professional satisfaction and consequent drop in productivity and quality of services provided [9], thus generating negative consequences for the quality of life in the work of these professionals. It is confirmed, therefore, that Burnout Syndrome is a response to chronic work stress that occurs mainly in professions that focus on service delivery, as is the case of dentists [17]. The Centers of Dental Specialties (CDSs) The Centers of Dental Specialties (CDSs) are health establishments that participate in the National Registry of Health Establishments (NRHE), considered as a specialized clinic. The treatment offered in these places is a continuation of the work carried out by the primary care network and, in this case, the municipalities that are in the Family Health Strategy by the oral health teams [18].
