The origins of school dentistry in Spain.
At the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, a movement which proposed that dental check-ups and treatment be carried out among school children appeared world wide. In Spain, the leading representatives of this movement were Perez Cano and Otaola. Pressure from odontologists forced the government to promulgate two decrees which made dental check-ups obligatory for school children.
