No, not at all. They are very different. The Master of Science degree requires a bachelor's degree, generally with a major or minor in the field of study. It requires one year of advanced coursework, and traditionally a research thesis. It is now common to provide a non-thesis option. It is one academic year of work beyond the bachelors, though it often requires two years to complete.

The Master of Science in Dentistry is an advanced degree in a dental specialities. Ordinarily, a professional doctorate (D.D.S. or D.M.D.) is required for admission to the M.S.D. Most commonly, it is an option offered by university-based speciality residencies. Dentist in speciality training can take an additional year of work, write a thesis, and earn a M.S.D. For example, if the speciality training program is 2 years, with a third year of academic work a M.S.D. may be earned. There are also some M.S.D. in advanced areas of dental science in which there is no speciality training program. Occasionally, a student may be admitted to the M.S.D. without a professional dental degree, often they are required to complete both together.

Does it have to be the same course in master's degree from the bachelor's degree?

It is not so much a question of better or not. It is a question of what your career goals and objectives are. For example, if you have a Bachelors degree in education and plan on staying in education, it would be appropriate to secure your Masters in the same or related field. If you have a Bachelors degree in education and now plan to seek employment in corporate management, then obviously a Masters in Organizational Management might be more appropriate. I all depends on what satisfies your goals and objectives. Viper1
