Objectives Job satisfaction in dentistry plays a crucial role in treatment success. Evaluating job satisfaction among dental professionals is essential in recognizing the impact of work environment factors on performance quality. Dental prosthesis technicians are integral members of the dental treatment team. The present study aimed to assess the job satisfaction of dental technicians in Iran through a questionnaire. Methods A questionnaire was distributed among 200 dental technicians participating in the Congress of Iranian Dental Technician Association. Descriptive statistics, including relative frequencies, means, and standard deviations, were utilized to determine job satisfaction levels. The relationship between satisfaction and independent variables was analyzed using independent t-tests and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results In this study, 190 people, including 110 (57.6%) men and 80 (42.4%) women, were evaluated in terms of satisfaction. The mean satisfaction score was 129 ± 15.09. A significant relationship was observed between satisfaction and age (p <0.001), i.e., higher satisfaction was observed in younger participants. Conclusion Despite the moderate and high job satisfaction levels among dental prosthesis technicians in Iran, there is an urgent need for special planning by policymakers in the field of oral health to enhance their knowledge, improve their job conditions, and elevate their academic status.
