Hi,
In order to practice as a dentist or pursue masters degree in dentistry from universities abroad the applicants are required to get themselves registered with the Dental council of those countries and clear the eligibility test to pursue MS or practice as dentist.
The dental council in most of the countries conducts the qualifying exam for the foreign trained dentist, only if the candidates clears this test, they are allowed to practice or pursue masters degree.
So, as per your query, I would suggest you to browse through the official website of dental council of the respective country, to know the exact details regarding eligibility criteria for foreign trained dentist to pursue masters degree.
Overall, in order to pursue masters degree from universities abroad, you need to have:
Relevant undergraduate degree from recognized university.
IELTS score of 6-7 bands plus or TOEFL score of 80-90 plus.
All the Best.
