Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

A study was carried out at King Saud University Dental School to assess professional satisfaction between senior dental students and interns. A questionnaire was distributed to all 4th, 5th year students and interns (males and females). One hundred sixty (160) or 73% of the two hundred nineteen (219) who received the questionnaires responded.

The results showed that although 15% of those investigated were dissatisfied with the dental profession, over 94% of all those included in the study would like to continue their postgraduate education in the profession. There were no statistical differences between the opinions of male and female respondents. Cross tabulation of job satisfaction and taking the right decision in attending dental school, dentistry being the first choice and advising a friend to take dentistry, were significant
