I am quite sure there is no difference. Just a matter of semantics.

Same degree. Some schools award DMD others DDS. All three Boston area schools award DMD. I think most schools award DDS. It's just a different name for the same degree.

No difference what so ever.

DMD is way better then DDS....... but then again i might be biased since NOVA awards DMD.....

Anyways, I second that. DMD rocks.

I believe it was stated earlier in another thread that DMD stands for:

"Driver, More Dom Pérignon"
