The intra- and extra-oral signs of physical abuse and neglect can appear visible to a dental professional during routine care. Yet, little is known about the existing pedagogies employed to discuss elder abuse and neglect in undergraduate dental education and the level of knowledge undergraduate dental students have about elder abuse and neglect. The purpose of this commentary is to present a literature review exploring how the subject of elder abuse and neglect is taught in dental schools and to discuss the results of a brief knowledge-based questionnaire focused on elder abuse and neglect applied to Canadian undergraduate dental students.

讨论本科牙科教育中的虐待和忽视老年人：评论。

在常规护理期间，口腔专业人员的口腔内和口腔外的体征和疏忽迹象可能看起来很明显。然而，对于在本科牙科教育中讨论虐待和忽视老年人的现有教学方法知之甚少，而牙科牙科学生对虐待和忽视老年人的知识水平却知之甚少。这篇评论的目的是提出一篇文献综述，探讨在牙科学校如何教授虐待和忽视老年人的话题，并讨论针对加拿大本科牙科学生的以知识为基础的简短问卷调查结果，该问卷以虐待和忽视老年人为重点。
