Clinical MDS specializations like Orthodontics, Prosthodontics, Endodontics, and Oral Surgery involve direct patient care, procedures, and surgical or restorative work. These branches focus on diagnosis, treatment, and improving dental health outcomes.
Non-clinical specializations such as Oral Pathology, Oral Medicine, and Public Health Dentistry emphasize research, diagnostics, and community services. They are ideal for those interested in academics, labs, and public health rather than routine patient treatment.
