History of dentistry in the Central Serbian District of Jagodina has been influenced by traditional medicine for centuries. Development of dentistry in the region of Jagodina was slow, the level of oral and general hygiene was low and the sanitary prevention was absent. Trained physicians started to practice medicine and dentistry in the first half of the nineteenth century and they were educated in abroad universities. However, common people used to address to these physicians only when the traditional medicine were unable to help. Until the end of the World War II, common, mostly rural people, with the urgent dental treatment need were usually referred to the barbers, healers or empirics in the nearby villages rather than the dentists. Medications used for the urgent dental treatment were balsams and solutions made of herbs. After the World War II, the dental technicians who finished special courses started to practice dentistry. In 1947 the Regional Dental Office in Jagodina was opened and in 1955 the first Doctor of Dental Medicine who graduated from the School of Dental Medicine of University of Belgrade was employed. Nowadays, the Department of Dentistry represents is an important and independent part of the Health Care Centre in Jagodina.

El objetivo del artículo es realizar un análisis histórico y desde los estudios sociales de la ciencia sobre cómo se construyó la representación de las tendencias epidemiológicas de caries en el mundo y el papel que desempeñan los mapas en dicha representación. Concluye con una descripción de los mapas epidemiológicos acerca de caries dental que ha producido la Organización Mundial de la Salud, descripción que contrasta con el discurso que acompaña dicha representación, The purpose of this paper is to analyze, from historical and sociology of science standpoints, the development of representations of epidemiological trends of dental caries worldwide with a specific focus on the use of maps. It concludes with a description of the epidemiological maps of caries that have been published by World Health Organization and an analysis of the discourse that goes along with those representations.

År 1942 hade 99,99 procent av svenskarna karies. Den nyöppnade folktandvården dignade under arbetsbördan att laga och dra ut svenska folkets illa anfrätta tänder. I gränslandet mellan forskning, vård och politik genomförde Medicinalstyrelsen på regeringens uppdrag en utredning om hur folksjukdomen skulle kunna stoppas. Strax utanför Lund, på Vipeholms statliga sjukhus för obildbara sinnesslöa, undersökte ett mångvetenskapligt forskarlag mellan 1945 och 1955 vad som orsakade karies. Sjukhusets patienter blev föremål för de ömsom förebyggande och ömsom kariesprovocerande experimenten. Vitaminer, mineraler, kolor och choklad skänktes av en industri med krav på inflytande på forskningen. I denna doktorsavhandling undersöker Elin Bommenel forskningspraktiken som var en del av 1940- och 50-talens politisk-vetenskapliga folkhälsoforskning och som kunde producera politiskt användbara resultat. Hon följer forskningsprocessen på Vipeholm från planeringen 1943 till Medicinalstyrelsens stora upplysningskampanj 1957 och en statlig offentlig utredning som 1960 skulle omdefiniera folktandvårdens mål från det lagande till det förebyggande mål den har än i dag., In 1942, 99.99 percent of the Swedish population had dental caries. The Public Dental Health Care system, which had only been established in 1938, was struggling to cope with the task of providing care to all. To remedy the situation, the Swedish Government ordered a public investigation into the causes of dental caries. In response, the Board of Medicine initiated an experiment. This thesis examines that very medical experiment, on the interface between medical science, public health policy, mental health services and the confectionary industry; The Vipeholm Dental Caries Studies from 1945 to 1955. By analysing the production of odontological knowledge as a social process, this study tries to broaden the understanding of micro processes behind public health. Studying the research practice closely from planning in 1943 to the public information campaign in 1957 and the public investigation regarding the aims of the Public Dental Health Care system of 1960, she describes the research process as a way of producing knowledge with high political value.
