In the first phase of this evolutionary process the biomedical sciences were harnessed to the dental task and ruled virtually unchallenged for nearly fifty years, though the influence of the social sciences was evident at an early stage in the field of dental epidemiology.</p><p>In a second phase in the scientific maturing of dentistry the social sciences were increasingly drawn in to aid in certain specific areas, such as the management of patients and dental resources and the organisation and delivery of care. A third stage can now be identified in the relationship between dentistry and the social sciences, with the emergence of a tradition of more critical and reflexive research in the dental field.</p><p>In conclusion, it is argued that the present application of the social sciences serves largely to intensify the predominant personal service and treatment orientation current in dentistry. The greatest opportunity for a <em>qualitative</em> change in the impact of the social sciences, therefore, lies in the transition of dentistry from its predominant focus on individual treatment to a broader concern with the more global oral health needs of entire communities.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":79260,"journal":{"name":"Social science & medicine.

There is a constant flow of patients and health resources among the three levels, i.e. the commune health clinic, the brigade medical stations, and the auxiliary health workers of the production teams. It is argued that (a) some organizational principles of the rural commune have facilitated the mobilization and organization not only of the Western but also of the Chinese medical resources in the rural areas, and (b) the incorporation of Chinese medical care into the organized health system has political as well as technical, cultural and economic implications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":79260,"journal":{"name":"Social science & medicine.

The ambiguity of efficacy is recognized both for modern (M) and traditional (T) medicine. Thus the definition of the medical public health situation is placed largely within the power structure of the nation state. In this structure, a medical public health cultural hegemony is seen as paralleling the overall hegemony which maintains social control and otherwise fosters the interests of the ruling class. The mix of M and T elements, their degree of integration, and their availability and use by different classes is seen as related to resource levels and whether a country is socialist or capitalist oriented. Whatever the medical mix, a set of social control functions are suggested: take over; system maintenance; control of actual or potential dissidents; and cooling out. In support of the liberation struggle, the medical public health system passes into new hands and takes on a new mix of T and M with a new emphasis. With the question of efficacy still open. it is suggested that the mix of T and M may not matter as much for health as the control and distribution of resources in society.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":79260,"journal":{"name":"Social science & medicine.

Interrelationships of these two categories are a function of the interplay of social, economic and political forces in the community. Western medicine was used as a political weapon by the colonialists—to strengthen the oppressing classes, and to weaken the oppressed classes by denying them access to the Western system of medicine and by contributing to the decay and degeneration of the pre-existing indigenous systems of medicine. This Western and privileged class orientation of the health services has been actively perpetuated and promoted by the post-colonial leadership of India. The issue in formulating an alternative health care system for India is essentially that of rectifying the distortions which have been brought about by various forces. The basic premise for such an alternative will be to start with the people. Action in this field will lead to a more harmonious mix between the indigenous and the Western systems of medicine.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":79260,"journal":{"name":"Social science & medicine.
