Mental health and academic performance of students in the quality of dental education is very important to the learners in this field. This study was designed to investigate the relationship between personality traits and distress tolerance with mental health and academic performance of dental students attending Kashan University of Medical Sciences, Iran. Seventy three dental students from Kashan University of Medical Sciences, Iran, participated in the present study. The sampling method was the census method. In this descriptive cross-sectional study, the Mental Health Questionnaire (GHQ), Distress Tolerance Questionnaire (DTS) and Five-Factor Personality Questionnaire (NEO) were used to assess the desired indicators and the total grade point average of students as a measure of their academic performance. Data was analyzed using Poisson regression estimators and descriptive statistics. Study participants had a mean age of 22.42 years and 84.9% of them were single. In this study, the mean score was 23.84 (±11.90) for GHQ and 45.01 (±8.93) for DTS. There was no significant relationship between different variables and their dimensions and students' academic performance. Improving the mental health of dental students is very important and should be on the agenda of educational policy makers.
