Abstract

Violence against women poses challenges to public health and leaves serious impacts on women's physical and mental health. In dental practice, they can be diagnosed in a majority, in the head and neck regions. The aim of this study is to present a clinical case of dental trauma due to domestic violence, in which it was necessary to integrate restorative dentistry to solve the case. A female patient, 35 years old, attended the dental clinic of Unicesumar, complaining of darkening of tooth 21 and the gap between the teeth. She had undergone treatment 4 years ago at the institution, and at the time a trauma was found on the tooth in question, with a diagnosis of necropulpectomy resulting from domestic violence. After anamnesis, clinical and radiographic examination, a composite resin veneer and diastema closure were performed. Through this clinical case, we conclude that in cases of dental trauma due to domestic violence it is necessary to establish a relationship with the patient since she is in a vulnerable situation. Thus, the dental surgeon, as a health professional, must care for her patient's health, reintegrating her into society. Thus, giving back self-esteem and the beauty of a smile.
