The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge, educational experiences and attitudes of Jordanian dentists towards child abuse and to assess their educational needs.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Methods:\u2002<\/jats:bold>\n                    A cross\u2010sectional survey of a random sample of Jordanian dentists (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2003=\u2003400) was conducted using an anonymous, self\u2010administered structured questionnaire.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:\u2002<\/jats:bold>\n                    The response rate was 64%.

Half of the dentists (127\/256) suspected a case of child abuse in the past 5\u2003years, but only 12% (31\/256) reported their suspicions. The main reasons for not reporting suspicions of abuse were fear from anger of parents (43%), uncertainty about diagnosis (41%) and uncertainty about referral procedures (41%). Those dentists who had formal training in dental school (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2003=\u20030.0001) and post\u2010qualification courses in child abuse (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2003=\u20030.006) were significantly more likely to report suspicions.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusions:\u2002<\/jats:bold>\n                    A significant gap existed between recognising signs of physical child abuse and responding effectively.
