A study was carried out on 2,148 complaints of physical aggression against children and adolescents (0 to less than 18 years old) occurred between 2009 and 2013 and which were retrieved from information about violence held on INMLCF-DN data files. Continuous variables were described and the association between them was verified by Chi-square or Fischer\u2019s Exact tests with 5% significance level. Within the 5-year timespan, 1,380 cases were identified with clinical relation with physical aggression. Most subjects evaluated were male adolescents and the most affected body region was the face, to which 747 injuries (24.7%) were recorded, with statistically significant association between sex and region (head and face). Victims in 15-17-year-old age group are more susceptible to violence than those in the 0-14-year-old age range. Dentists routinely examine the face, neck and skull, which make them the most appropriate health professionals to identify cases of aggression early.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/0103-6440201801830","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,27]],"date-time":"2018-07-27T22:13:45Z","timestamp":1532729625000},"page":"316-320","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Orofacial Injuries in Children and Adolescents (2009-2013): A 5-Year Study In Porto, Portugal"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Humberto Gomes","family":"Vidal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade do Porto,  Portugal; Universidade de Pernambuco,  Brazil"}]},{"given":"In\u00eas Morais","family":"Caldas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade do Porto,  Portugal; Universidade de Coimbra,  Portugal; Universidade de Coimbra,  Portugal"}]},{"given":"Luiz Gutenberg Toledo de Miranda","family":"Coelho J\u00fanior","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de Pernambuco,  Brazil"}]},{"given":"Eliane Helena Alvim de","family":"Souza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de Pernambuco,  Brazil"}]},{"given":"Marcus Vitor Diniz de","family":"Carvalho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de Pernambuco,  Brazil"}]},{"given":"Evelyne Pessoa","family":"Soriano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de Pernambuco,  Brazil"}]},{"given":"Maria Lurdes","family":"Pereira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade do Porto,  Portugal; Universidade do Porto,  Portugal"}]},{"given":"Arnaldo de Fran\u00e7a","family":"Caldas Jr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de Pernambuco,  Brazil"}]}],"member":"530","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"World report on violence and health: summary","author":"Krug E","year":"2002"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"459","DOI":"10.1016\/j.paed.2012.09.002","article-title":"The epidemiology of child maltreatment","volume":"22","author":"Rao S","year":"2012","journal-title":"Paediatr Child Health"},{"key":"ref3","first-page":"85","article-title":"Sexual violence against children and adolescents: data from a referral service","volume":"18","author":"Pelisoli C","year":"2010","journal-title":"Temas Psicol"},{"key":"ref4","first-page":"5","article-title":"Facial Lesions of woman who have been physycally attacked - Para\u00edba - Brazil","volume":"5","author":"Rabello PM","year":"2007","journal-title":"Odontol Clin Cient"},{"key":"ref5","first-page":"939","article-title":"The role of the dentist in the diagnosis and signaling of child abuse","volume":"24","author":"Crespo M","year":"2011","journal-title":"Acta Med Port"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"147","DOI":"10.1097\/TA.0b013e318182f77f","article-title":"When violence strikes the head, neck, and face","volume":"67","author":"Brink O","year":"2009","journal-title":"J Trauma"},{"key":"ref7","first-page":"452","article-title":"Family violenceb prevention: dentistry\u2019s attitudes and responsabilities","volume":"29","author":"Mouden L","year":"1998","journal-title":"Quintessence Int"},{"key":"ref8","first-page":"479","article-title":"Le syndrome de Silverman en odonto-stomatologie","volume":"199","author":"Darche V","year":"1997","journal-title":"Act Odonto Stomatol"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"61","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.bdj.4809545","article-title":"The dental practitioner\u2019s role in protecting children from abuse. 2- The orofacial signs of abuse","volume":"184","author":"Welbury R","year":"1998","journal-title":"Br Dent J"},{"key":"ref10","first-page":"459","article-title":"Abuse detection in the dental environment","volume":"29","author":"Persaud DI","year":"1998","journal-title":"Quintessence Int"},{"key":"ref11","first-page":"479","article-title":"Les s\u00e9vices envers les enfants.
