Survey results on the subject of child abuse from the American Society of Dentistry for Children membership are reported. The survey results reflected the need of a documentation protocol for the dental office. A protocol is proposed which reviews the need of thorough assessment of orofacial lesions before concluding that child abuse exists. A data- and diagnostic-assessment form has been made using guidelines of the American Dental Association and other related referenced articles. The diagnostic-assessment form is presented to guide the practitioner through the documentation process and to develop a step-by-step decision on the probability of child abuse in any individual case.
报告了美国儿童牙科协会会员关于虐待儿童问题的调查结果。调查结果反映出牙科诊所需要一个记录规程。本文提出了一个规程，该规程强调在判定存在虐待儿童情况之前，有必要对口腔颌面部损伤进行全面评估。已根据美国牙科协会的指南和其他相关参考文献制作了一份数据及诊断评估表。该诊断评估表旨在指导从业者完成记录过程，并针对任何个别案例中虐待儿童的可能性做出逐步判断。
