Is there any difference between the MScD and the MDS?
The obvious difference would be in the name of the course. However, essentially, both are equivalents. The MScD (Masters of Science in Dentistry) is traditionally offered in countries that follow the American system of education, while the MDS is the version that is prevalent in countries which adopt the commonwealth model of education. Fundamentally, the differences between the both are not great, whether in terms of curriculum, recognition or career prospects.
