it all depends... you need to enter school sayin you need to be a pros'thadontist.... dagone... so many dentist you need to become an implantologist or you make 90 grand at the mill
Depends on the particular program. I'm applying to pediatric residencies, many of the pedo programs pay you a stipend (the range for the ones I've applied to has been from 30k-60k) and have no tuition, but there are a handful that charge tuition and do not pay you - I chose not to apply to any of those, I'm broke enough from dental school.
Same goes with the other specialties - you can find some that charge tuition while some pay you a stipend. I don't know as much about the other specialties as I do pedo but it seems to me most ortho and prostho programs charge tuition with a golden few offering a stipend... a lot of OMFS ones charge you tuition for med school even if they pay you a stipend... anybody with more info on those specialties can correct me if I'm wrong.
This question actually has a complex answer like rewJW explained. Most specialties have some programs that pay stipends, and some programs where you pay tuition. This is true for pedo, endo, perio, ortho, and I think prostho. The programs which pay tuition are normally very competitive to get into, but aren't necessarily the best programs.
The only exception I can think of is OMFS, which all pay stipends (however, the 6yr M.D. programs require you to pay med school tuition for 1-3 years).
