dc.description	Relevance of the topic. In order to achieve a high standard of dental care, it is necessary to pay attention to human resources for motivation, education or management. Dental assistants play an important role in providing dental care. Helps to implement one of the main health care objectives, which is to improve the quality of the activities of health care institutions and the quality of services provided (Bagdoniene and Hopenienė, 2009). Dental assistants and dental practitioners always face health risk factors, which can lead to serious health problems in the future (Vainauskas et al., 2010). That’s why we can’t forget anything about worker motivation and job satisfaction (Bagdoniene and Hopenienė, 2009). It is said that providing quality services is possible only when the work is satisfying. Employees are motivated and satisfied with the work performed by more productive work and creativity. These internals determine the quality of the services they provide. It is important for every health care institution to have well-motivated staff, because only a motivated work specialist could feel satisfaction while working and by realizing himself he can achieve good work results. This means that a dental assistant will have a greater impact on a teamwork and will help him to achieve better results (Grujičić et al., 2016). The aim of the study: to measure the satisfaction of the doctor dental assistant in the working environment: in Lithuania and the USA. Research tasks: 1. To discuss the activities of the dentist's dental assistant; 2. Theoretically justify what kind of subjects can determine job satisfaction; 3.

The investigation revealed that the 70,4% of dental assistants work in Lithuania more than with two dentists, while 54% of Americans work with one doctor. Almost all of the respondents who participated in the study indicated that they would work better in a small office than a large one. Representatives from both of these countries admit that they are happy with teamwork, but the psychological atmosphere is satisfying 66,6% according to Americans. 4,9% difference is that Lithuanians are more likely to be grateful for the amount of money they get while working. Respondents who participated in the survey indicated that the main factors that determine job satisfaction is the teamwork, remuneration for work, workload and the opportunity to improve yourself. Lithuanian dental assistants have a higher workload and load compared to Americans, but Americans are more likely to experience stress and fatigue than Lithuanians.
