In this paper Sir John Tomes HonFRCS LDS FRS (1815-95), surgeon-dentist, is presented as the agent through whose membership of the Royal Society the previously disorganized profession of dentistry shared in the process of reform and scientific progress that engaged the medical profession in the second half of the nineteenth century. The study identifies 70 of the Fellows of the Royal Society who were involved in medical and dental research and/or who gave structure and effect to the governance of the medical and dental professions. In recording the education of Tomes as a scientist, his election to the Society and his place in the process of reform, the paper identifies the Royal Society as a superculture, enabling him to act at a functional remove from the cultures of the surgeons and the dentists of the day.
在本文中，外科牙医约翰·托姆斯爵士（1815 - 1895），皇家外科医学院荣誉院士、伦敦牙科协会会员、皇家学会会员，被视为推动牙科专业改革和科学进步的关键人物。此前，牙科专业处于混乱状态，而通过他成为皇家学会的成员，牙科专业得以参与到19世纪下半叶医学专业所经历的改革和科学进步进程中。该研究确定了70位皇家学会会员，他们参与了医学和牙科研究，及/或为医学和牙科专业的管理提供了架构并产生了影响。在记录托姆斯作为科学家所接受的教育、他入选皇家学会以及他在改革进程中的地位时，本文将皇家学会视为一种超级文化，使他能够在与当时外科医生和牙医文化保持一定功能距离的情况下开展活动。
