Analysis of stress, anxiety, and depression among dental students and dentists: a cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey
High levels of depression, anxiety, and stress were observed in clinical dental students. However, these levels significantly decreased upon becoming a dentist. No differences were found regarding gender among the two groups. However, a longitudinal study following dental students during the process of dental education and into their work life is required.
