TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - Medicolegal aspects of domestic violence against children JO - Dental traumatology A1 - Maimon-Blau, Inbal SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - The routine of the dental profession exposes dentists not only to medical challenges but also to ethical and legal ones. Compared to other physicians, dentists are more likely to encounter children who are victims of domestic violence. This reality exposes them to legal liability due to the reporting obligations and the risk of misdiagnosing injuries. This paper aims to examine the importance of dentists in diagnosing injuries to children caused by domestic violence and the inherent dangers of failing to make such a diagnosis.
