Abstract
- Child abuse and neglect is now recognised as an international issue and the reported frequencies of mortality vary considerably. Dental personnel has an important role in suspecting abuse and diagnosing non-accidental injury, because oro-facial trauma occur in approximately half of all cases. The critical steps to ensure adequate professional response in suspected child abuse cases are the development of diagnostic criteria, curriculum and treatment guidelines.
