SECOM CyC was established in Spain 1965 before the specialty of oral and maxillofacial surgery formally existed as such. In 1977 the specialty was created in great part through the efforts of SECOM CyC founding members.
The objectives of the association are to promote and defend the specialty and the professional interests of its nearly 1,000 members. It is very active in training and organizes an annual congress as well as numerous courses and symposiums throughout the year.
