In contrast, Doctors of Osteopathy (DOs) and Doctors of Medicine (MDs) are both objectively and subjectively perceived as different in philosophy and healthcare training while objectively passing similar examinations to be licensed as physicians.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Following from the history of both dental degrees and their implications for training and dental practice, the objective of this manuscript is to update the scientific, socio\u2010political, and professional reasons for awarding only the DMD for future graduates while continuing to recognize the contributions of DDS graduates to oral healthcare.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Working with the American Dental Association (ADA), American Dental Education Association (ADEA), and dental school librarians, a historical review was undertaken of the establishment of two doctoral degrees for dentists in the United States, including beliefs and attitudes of faculty and local dentists at the times of initiation or change in degrees awarded. Among the current 68 dental schools in the United States, there are approximately equal numbers of DDS\u2010 and DMD\u2010granting schools. Except for some Harvard physicians, some of whom practiced dentistry, who wanted dentistry to be a specialty of medicine and the unexpected, serendipitous substitution of \u201cmedicine\u201d for \u201csurgery\u201d which could not be translated into required Latin in 1867, all dental schools would have awarded only the DDS degree. Now, with the ongoing reorganization of the healthcare workforce in the United States, a single degree with broader healthcare connotations of the DMD will facilitate the integration of dentistry with overall healthcare, without changing the fundamental oral healthcare responsibilities of both DDS and DMD graduates.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jdd.12921","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,14]],"date-time":"2022-03-14T15:39:14Z","timestamp":1647272354000},"page":"998-1005","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The dilemma of different dental degrees: DDS and DMD"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"86","author":[{"given":"Donald B.","family":"Giddon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Developmental Biology, Harvard School of Dental Medicine Harvard University  Boston Massachusetts USA"},{"name":"NYU College of Dentistry  New York City New York USA"},{"name":"Department of Community Dentistry and Behavioral Science University of Florida School of Dentistry  Gainesville Florida USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ira B.","family":"Lamster","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology School of Dental Medicine, Stony Brook University  Stony Brook New York USA"},{"name":"Columbia University College of Dental Medicine  New York City New York USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","unstructured":"DAT sores by dental schools.https:\/\/dat\u2010prep.com\/dat\u2010scores\u2010for\u2010dental\u2010schools.php.
