Violence against women: A case report

Abstract

Violence against women often have signs of injury that are readily visible to dentists. Dentists have a moral and legal obligation to recognize and report suspected abuse and illustrations. The purpose of this study is to present a case of Battered Woman Syndrome (BWS), assist in diagnosing abuse and ensure that we give the criminal-justice system the tools it needs so that women's rights are turned into reality. © Medwell Journals, 2011.
