Introdução: As crianças são consideradas elementos particularmente vulneráveis na sociedade atual, e têm direito a serem protegidas contra todas as formas de abuso. Os maus tratos físicos, sexuais, emocionais ou psicológicos e a negligência são as principais formas de abuso nas crianças, podendo ser detetados e denunciados às “Entidades Sinalizadoras de Abuso de Crianças” através de uma abordagem multidisciplinar entre as áreas da Odontopediatria e da Medicina Dentária Forense. Uma vez que as regiões mais frequentemente envolvidas são a face e a região oral (cabeça, rosto, boca e pescoço) o papel do Médico Dentista Odontopediatra é assim de extrema importância na deteção de novos casos.
Objetivos: Sensibilizar os médicos dentistas para a importância do seu papel na deteção e sinalização das crianças vítimas de maus tratos. Evidenciar o papel fundamental que os Médicos Dentistas Odontopediatras desempenham na deteção precoce destes casos.
Materiais e Métodos: Foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica recorrendo aos motores de busca Pubmed, Google Scholar e B-on \ Biblioteca do Conhecimento Online utilizando como palavras-chave abuso infantil, negligência infantil, vítimas de abuso, negligência dentária, violência doméstica, aspetos legais, responsabilidade legal, marcas de mordida, aspetos forenses. Foram selecionados artigos escritos em inglês ou português e publicados nos últimos 10 anos. Obtiveram-se 295 resultados, dos quais 83 respeitam os critérios de inclusão.
Conclusão: É fundamental informar os médicos dentistas no que diz respeito ao abuso e negligência de crianças, para que estes possam prevenir eventuais situações de risco, agindo de forma célere e segundo os protocolos de atuação existentes.
