Bite marks are good indicators of abuse as they are rarely accidental. 4 It is a known fact that medical professionals are the first ones to come in contact with children affected by abuse and neglect. Dental professionals especially are the ones who would first notice any signs of CAN, since in maximum cases, the lesions are seen in the head, neck, mouth, and face region. Aim The aim was to assess dental students' perception and knowledge of CAN in a pediatric dental setup. introduction Child abuse and neglect (CAN) is a grave issue our society faces. The physical, psychological, as well as social well-being of a child is of utmost importance. However, it is often overlooked by their primary caregiver. It could be in the form of negligence or even emotional, physical, or sexual abuse. Child abuse and neglect (CAN) is defined by the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act as "any recent act or failure to act on the part of a parent or caregiver that results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse, or exploitation, or an act or failure to act that presents an imminent risk of serious harm." 1 There are five subtypes of CAN-(1) physical abuse: in which a child potentially is physically harmed, such incidents may be single or multiple; (2) child sexual abuse: in which there is some sort of sexual activity where the child isn't aware or cannot comprehend and is unable to give consent; (3) emotional abuse: where in the primary caregiver fails to provide an emotionally supportive environment for the child; (4) neglect: where the caregiver fails to pay attention to or omits the basic emotional, physical, health, and educational needs of the child; and (5) exploitation: where the child is exploited for work or other activities which benefits others such as child trafficking. 2 Child abuse and neglect (CAN) have several short-and long-term effects on the child. These effects include post-traumatic stress disorder, aggression, emotional disturbances, and mental health concerns like anxiety, depression, etc. These effects also affect the child in their adulthood. According to the adverse childhood experiences study, an American research project established a strong relationship between bad experiences in childhood and adulthood physical and mental well-being. 3
