Family violence, including child abuse, neglect, and domestic violence, is a public health problem. The aim of this study was to provide data on prevalence and factors of Orofacial lesions relating child abuse in Iran to lend evidence to support preventing child abuse.
The overall approach was a case-note review of children having child abuse note, recording by personnel of social services. Research ethical approval was sought from the Central social service organization. This study was conducted in Isfahan, Iran (2011).
The mean age of children, when abuse had been occurred was 8 years (SD = 1.68), and there were approximately an equal number of boys and girls. Children had a high physical experience (66.1%).Of these children, at least 60% sustained trauma to the face and mouth. Emotional abuse was 77.1%, neglect was 64.1%, and lower experience of sexual abuse which was 4.1%. There was a strong relationship between gender and abuser which shows girls have been affected by stepfathers (P = 0.001).
Preliminary data suggest that there are strong evidence regarding the incidence of child abuse relating orofacial lesions which dentists should be aware of them. Future trials may draw on these useful baseline data to help their study design.
家庭暴力，包括虐待儿童、忽视儿童以及家庭暴力，是一个公共卫生问题。本研究的目的是提供有关伊朗与虐待儿童相关的口腔颌面部损伤的患病率和影响因素的数据，以支持预防虐待儿童的证据。
总体方法是对有虐待儿童记录的儿童进行病例记录回顾，由社会服务人员进行记录。已向中央社会服务组织寻求研究伦理批准。本研究于2011年在伊朗伊斯法罕进行。
发生虐待行为时儿童的平均年龄为8岁（标准差=1.68），男孩和女孩的数量大致相等。儿童有较高的身体虐待经历（66.1%）。在这些儿童中，至少60%的人面部和口腔受到创伤。情感虐待为77.1%，忽视儿童为64.1%，性虐待经历较低，为4.1%。性别与施虐者之间存在密切关系，表明女孩受继父影响（P=0.001）。
初步数据表明，有强有力的证据证明与口腔颌面部损伤相关的虐待儿童事件的发生率，牙医应予以关注。未来的试验可能会利用这些有用的基线数据来帮助其研究设计。
