Resumo
Introduction: In Brazil, violence against women represents a social
problem that has been focused in several public health programs, since
this practice occurs in all social classes. Therefore, based on the fact
that women are considered the vulnerable part in a family relationship,
the Law number 11.340/2006, known as Maria da Penha law, was
approved, enhancing the punishment to those who offend women of
their own family. Among the several types of violence against women,
those of physical nature are the ones more easily identified by health
professionals, including dentists. Objective and case report: This
study reports two cases of violence against women with injuries in the
head and neck region, in which the first victim was offended with a
punch and lost two front teeth (serious injury), while the second victim
was also offended with punches that produced orbital and perioral
ecchymosis (mild injury) that decreased after thirty days. Conclusion:
A proper record of the dental procedures performed in violence victims
is of great ethical and legal importance, because these dental records
may be requested to subsidize both a forensic dental evaluation and
a lawsuit against the perpetrator.
