N2  - The role that the dentist can play in screening for physically abused children is often underestimated. The importance of his young clientele and the fact that the oro-facial area is a primary site associated with child abuse, allows the dentist to intervene in these matters. This article gives a Quebec perspective of the situation. The main points in the Youth Protection Act are discussed and local statistics confirm the extent of the problem. The importance of a proper examination to assist in screening such cases and protocol on what procedures to follow is suggested.<p />  <p>Language: fr</p>
