Abstract:
The arrival of the Royal Family of Portugal in Brazil during the Napoleonic wars resulted in several changes in Brazilian society, as well as the founding of schools of medicine. The dental courses became independent with the imperial decrees of 1882 (Budget of the Empire) and 1884 (New Statutes of the School of Medicine) which are discussed.
