[Oro-facial diagnosis of battered children (Silverman syndrome). Management].
In France, 6 children on 1,000 are abused or neglected. The orofacial lesions are most often evocatives, but the diagnosis is sometimes delicate. The laws and the deontologic code are not precise concerning the attitude of the dentist facing a Silverman syndrome. In U.S.A., 8% of all dentists responding saw suspected cases of child abuse. We have not such statistics in France. The structures of protection and taking in care seems to be unknown of our collegues.
