“…This study revealed a low prevalence of TDIs compared to car accidents (3.57%) and violence (1.19%), different from some previous studies [28][29][30]. This may be related to the age of individuals surveyed, who still depend on their caretakers or school transportation for their displacement.…”

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of dental trauma, its causes, sites and age at the occurrence of injuries and treatment needs related to dental trauma in schoolchildren aged 12 years at Brasília, DF, Brazil. Material and Methods: A crosssectional, population-based study was conducted on a sample of 1,389 schoolchildren of public and private schools. Two questionnaires were used: one targeted to parents/legal caretakers and the other responded by the schoolchildren. The criteria for classification of trauma used in the Children's Dental Survey in the United Kingdom were adopted. The examinations were performed by two trained and calibrated examiners (inter and intra-examiner kappa: 0.85 to 1.00). The association between dental trauma and the study variables was evaluated by the chi-square test. Results: A total of 1,445 students were examined, with a response rate of 80.48%. Prevalence of 14.63% (public schools) and 23.40% (private schools) of dental trauma was found. The most common cause of dental trauma was fall (7.87%), followed by collision with objects or persons (5.03%), inadequate use of the teeth (2.33%), sports accidents (2.11%) and car accidents (0.66%). It was observed that 256 students presented injury to at least one tooth, with predominance of enamel fracture (88.67%) followed by discoloration (5.47%), enamel and dentin fracture (3.90%) and tooth loss (1.95 %). The teeth most affected by trauma were the maxillary central incisors. The accidents occurred predominantly at home (44.25%) and at the school (26.99%). Only 28.51% had received treatment for the injuries. Conclusion: Dental trauma in the study population was significant, presenting diverse etiology and expressive treatment needs, indicating the importance of preventive programs to inform the population on the possible complications after trauma, as well as the need to follow-up traumatized teeth to avoid subsequent problems.

“…Physical component was also evident among the victims of domestic violence similar to the findings of Hendler J Tracey [21].The traumatic dental injuries in the form of dental fractures and tooth avulsions were present in the 16.7% and 37.3% of the subjects that are similar to the findngs of Garbin CA who reported dental trauma in the form of fractures (59.1%), luxations (27.2%) and avulsions (13.7%) in the subjects of domestic violence [17]. Physical consequences of DV extend well beyond the "tell-tale" bruising.…”

“…The physical component of the domestic violence can be related to the injuries of head and neck region including, ligature marks, scratches, abrasions, and scrapes, petechia on the neck, face, eyes, mouth, swelling, and difficulty in swallowing. It has been documented that 38.7% of DV injuries are related to head and neck region [17].…”

This research reviews and discusses the clinical and social science datasets used to identify victims of domestic violence (DV) in the archaeological record. Clinical sources are skewed by law enforcement and cost issues, dominated by Western female data and suggest that DV is a well-documented form of abuse. Social science sources and perspectives, having arisen from activist movements, are more spatiotemporally diverse in breadth and perspective, and challenge the notion that DV is universal and well-documented, but are biased because they rely upon self-survey reports. Palaeopathology and bioarchaeology have adopted a clinical approach to DV, relying on a pattern of injuries (focussed on the head, face and neck), without critically evaluating whether such datasets are appropriate to the spatiotemporal and socio-cultural diversity present in the archaeological record. A case study evaluating the injury patterns in 964 post-medieval adult females from London (England) demonstrates that the majority of injuries that conform to the clinical model have robust alternative explanations, and only a small minority of females have injuries that may have been produced by interpersonal violence, not necessarily DV.In conclusion, the review highlights that the perspectives of the elderly and male victims are currently neglected in research, and evidence for injury, especially that which may reflect abuse, necessitates interpretation within a 'web of violence' approach, as DV does not occur in isolation from other violence in a community. It challenges the 'check-list' approach to interpretation and suggests that a closer examination of fracture mechanism combined with injury patterning may be a more informative approach with which to identify DV victims of both sexes and identifies the need to integrate other health data into the interpretation of violence and abuse. Overall, it concurs with the minority of clinical and forensic literature that it might not be possible to differentiate DV and assault victims.
