Abstract(s)
Observa-se, a nível mundial, um aumento da esperança de vida da população, verificando-se também aumento da violência contra a pessoa idosa.
Vários autores apontam características da população idosa, dos agressores e instituições como fatores de risco para a violência. O conhecimento das formas que os vários tipos de abuso podem tomar, a identificação dos fatores de risco associados e as manifestações capazes de serem identificadas numa consulta de Medicina Dentária, colocam o Médico Dentista numa posição privilegiada para identificar e denunciar estas situações.
O presente trabalho tem como objetivo identificar os fatores de risco e os sinais/sintomas de abuso que podem ser identificados por um Médico Dentista, assim como a sua importância na denúncia e como a realizar.
A revisão da literatura teve como base uma pesquisa bibliográfica de artigos disponíveis em bases de dados eletrónicas Pub-Med e B-on. Foram incluídos artigos que relacionassem danos contra idosos com Medicina Dentária.
