Dental Research Degrees

Research master's and doctoral programs in dental and oral sciences — for example oral biology, dental materials or dental public-health research. They are academic degrees awarded for research, not clinical qualifications.

A research PhD is not a DDS or DMD and does not qualify you to treat patients; a DDS or DMD is a professional degree, not a PhD. Clinical specialist training is listed under postgraduate specialties.
