| dc.description | At first sight, the oral health services in the World Health Organization European Region show a bewildering degree of heterogeneity as individual countries differ from one another in their socioeconomic achievements, political institutions and local traditions; also, there are sometimes radically differing opinions within countries between oral health service planners and organizers, teachers of dentistry, and officers of national dental associations regarding the main problems and appropriate solutions to these. The different approaches and points of view provide an insight into the pressures at work shaping national oral health services, and an overall pattern of European oral health care can be perceived. Countries that have achieved comparable levels of socioeconomic development encounter broadly similar constraints in the oral health services, while those adopting similar political philosophies generally arrive at comparable solutions. This is a thoughtful and in many ways provocative report, which deserves to be brought to the attention of governments and service organizers and planners; teachers of dentistry and oral health educators; dentists and dental auxiliaries; and the professional bodies representing these oral health workers. | |
