The DDS degree, referring to Doctor of Dental Surgery, denotes one of a few
degrees that are
awarded to dentists, the others being Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD), Bachelor
of Dentistry
(BDent), or Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) or (B.Ch.D), all of which are
equivalent degrees for
the practice of Dentistry.
Pre-Dental Education in the U.S.
In order to earn a DDS/DMD in the United States, at least 3 years of
undergraduate education is
required first (although nearly every dental school requires at least a
bachelors degree). There is no
mandatory course of study while an undergraduate other than satisfactorily
completing the requisite
"pre-dental" courses; these typically include one year of organic chemistry, in
addition to one year of
each of the three primary sciences (general biology, chemistry and physics) and
a single year of
English. Although the majority of dental schools only require the aforementioned
courses, other
schools have requirements beyond these. In addition to the core prerequisites,
the dental admissions
test (DAT) is also required. The DAT is usually taken during the spring semester
of one's junior year.
Finally, every dental school, with the exception of Creighton, requires an
interview before admissions
can be granted. The interview is designed to evaluate the motivation, character
and personality of the
applicant. It is often a crucial step in the admissions process. The vast
majority of dental students
major in a science (biology, biochemistry or chemistry); however, this is not
required and many
students often elect to major in a non-science related field such as, English,
Art History, Business,
History, Sociology or Psychology. Due to the large number of applicants, dental
school admission is
increasingly competitive. Nearly 12,000 applicants applied for the class of 2011
for approximately
4,300 spots. The average dental school applicant admitted in 2006 for the class
of 2010 had an
overall GPA of 3.52 and a Science GPA of 3.44. Additionally, the mean DAT
Academic Average
for the class of 2010 was 19.29 and a Perceptual Ability Test (PAT) score of
18.42; however, many
dental schools expect much more.
Dental Education/Training in the U.S.
Dental school is four academic years in duration and is similar in format to
medical school--consisting
of two years of basic medical and dental sciences, followed by two years of
clinical training (with
continued didactic coursework). Before graduating, every dental student must
successfully complete
the National Board Dental Examination Part I and II (commonly referred to as
NBDE I & II). The
NBDE Part I is usually taken at the end of the second year after the majority of
the didactic courses
have been completed. The NBDE Part I covers anatomic sciences, biochemistry,
physiology,
microbiology, pathology, and dental anatomy and occlusion. The NBDE Part II is
usually taken
during winter of the last year of dental school and consists of operative
dentistry, pharmacology,
endodontics, periodontics, oral surgery, pain control, prosthodontics,
orthodontics, pediatric
dentistry, oral pathology, and radiology. NBDE Part I scores are of importance
when considering
residency training after graduating from dental school.
After graduating, the vast majority of new dentists go directly into practice
while a small percentage
of dentists apply to a residency program. Some residency programs train dentists
in advanced
general dentistry such as General Practice Residencies and Advanced Education in
General Dentistry
Residencies, commonly referred to as GPR and AEGD. Most GPR and AEGD programs
are one
year in duration but several are two years long or provide an optional second
year. GPR programs
are usually affiliated with a hospital and thus require the doctor to treat a
wide variety of patients
including trauma, critically ill, and medically compromised patients.
Additionally, GPR programs
require residents to rotate through various department within the hospital such
anesthesia, internal
medicine, and emergency medicine to name a few. AEGD programs are usually in a
dental school
setting where the focus is treating complex cases in a comprehensive manner.
Dental Specialties
There are 9 recognized dental specialties in the US, Canada, and Australia. To
become a specialist
requires one to train in a residency or advanced graduate training program. Once
residency is
completed, the doctor is granted a certificate of training. Many specialty
programs have optional or
required advanced degrees such as (MD or MBBS specific to Maxillofacial
Surgery), MS, or PhD.
* Orthodontics: 2-3 years
* Endodontics: 2-3 years
* Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: 4-6 years (additional time for MD/MBBS degree
granting
programs)
* Periodontics: 3 years
* Prosthodontics: 3 years (a Prosthdontist may elect to sub-specialize in
Maxillofacial Prosthetics
which requires an additional year of training after completing a prosthodontic
program)
* Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology: 3 years
* Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology: 3 years
* Pedodontics: 2-3 years
* Dental Public Health: 1-2 years
Licensing Exams in the U.S.
To practice, a dentist must pass a licensing examination administered by an
individual state or more
commonly a region. There are a handful of states that maintain independent
dental licensing
examinations while the majority accept a regional board examination. The
Northeast Regional Board
(NERB), Western Regional Board (WREB), Central Regional Dental Testing Service
(CRDTS, and
Southern Regional Testing Agency (SRTA) are the four regional testing agencies
that administer
licensing examinations. Once the examination is passed, the dentist may then
apply to individual states
that accept the regional board test passed. Each state requires one to pass an
ethics/jurisprudence
examination as well before a license is granted. To maintain one's dental
license the doctor must
complete Continuing Education (CE) courses periodically. This promotes the
continued exploration
of knowledge. The amount of CE required varies from state to state but is
generally 10-25 CE hours
a year.
The DDS in Canada
The Doctorate of Dental Surgery degree is also awarded and recognized in Canada
by the Canadian
Dental Association. The requirements for an average DDS program (such as from
the University of
Toronto) include a course in biochemistry, in physiology, 2 courses in the Life
Sciences (anatomy,
biology, genetics, etc.), and an additional course in either the Humanities
(art, music, history, etc.) or
the Social Sciences (sociology, psychology, anthropology, etc.).
Several Universities in Canada offer the DDS degree, including the University of
Toronto, the
University of Western Ontario, the University of Alberta, and Dalhousie
University, while the
remaining Canadian dental schools offer the Doctor of Dental Medicine degree to
their graduates.
Australia and New Zealand
Australian and New Zealand Dental schools offer either the (BDent, BDS, BDSc, or
DDS) degrees
(depending on the University) which are all equivalent to the US and Canadian
DDS and DMD
degrees
