Introdução: A violência doméstica prevalece em todos os países do mundo e com a chegada do COVID-19 aumentaram os casos. A face é dos alvos mais frequentes na violência doméstica. Por esta causa, os estudos na área de traumatismos por violência doméstica são de grande importância na Medicina Dentária.
Objectivos: Estudo epidemiológico transversal e retrospectivo na prevalência e acompanhamento dos Médicos Dentistas nos casos de Violência Doméstica. Sistematizar os perfis mais susceptíveis, criando um perfil comum no agressor e assim facilitar o reconhecimento dos casos quando se apresentam nos consultórios dos Médicos Dentistas, assim como os protocolos usados pelos Médicos Dentistas.
Metodologia: Médicos Dentistas participaram num questionário on-line com a função de avaliar a prevalência e acompanhamento de vítimas de VD na prática clínica. Para todas as análises estatísticas, o nível de significância foi de 0,05 e utilizou-se o IBM® SPSS Statistics, v25.0 e Microsoft® Excel®.
Resultados: Apenas o 31,34% dos contactados responderam o questionário (n=84), e houve uma prevalência de casos de traumatismos de VD do 22,26% (n=19).
Conclusões: Devido às limitações, a amostra não alcançou ser representativa da amostra da população geral. Não obstante a literatura previa à o estudo apoiam os resultados. Embora se encontra uma evidência de prevalência de casos, existe uma tendência dos MD a não denunciar os episódios de traumatismos de VD.
