Signs of abuse are often present in the oro\u2010facial region and dentists are in a strategic position to recognise and report suspected cases. The aim of this study was to investigate dental students\u2019 knowledge about and attitudes towards child abuse.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Material and methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study was performed at the Faculty of Dentistry of the Ondokuz Mayis University. The data were collected through a self\u2010report questionnaire administered to dental students (137 female\/111 male) in three different dental classes (third, fourth and fifth study years) and grouped by considering those students who have been training in the school year of 2013. The definition of physical and social indicators of abuse, awareness regarding legal and ethical responsibilities, students\u2019 experience and requests made by students were evaluated by the students\u2019 response to questions put in the questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and chi\u2010square tests were performed to analyse the questionnaire data.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The questionnaire completion rate was 100%. About 67.74% of the third year, 40.71% of the fourth year and 16.67% of the fifth year believed that they could detect child abuse cases. However, results indicated a major lack of knowledge of social indicators, signs of physical abuse and reporting procedure amongst all respondents. The assessment of the total correct answers exhibited significant differences amongst third\u2010, fourth\u2010 and fifth\u2010year students\u2019 answers. Fifth\u2010year students had the highest rate of correct responses (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05). Most students wanted to receive more knowledge about this topic.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Dental students in Turkey are not sufficiently prepared for
