Abstract

The status of the elderly has brought significant changes to Brazilian legislation regarding the quality of life of the elderly. Although guaranteed by law, this quality of life has been the subject of studies that point to alarming results of mistreatment. Objective: to highlight the importance of the applicability of instruments for tracking abuse in the elderly by dentists in the identification of violence suffered at home in the routine of clinical care for patients registered in the Family Health Strategy (ESF). Method: This is a literature review, which was carried out in June 2019. Results: Although government sources do not indicate a high rate, violence against the elderly occurs within the home, making it difficult to identify. Dental surgeons registered with the FHS are of fundamental importance in the use of instruments for tracking ill-treatment, referring cases to protection agencies. Conclusion: When trained, the dental surgeon can effectively and conclusively track the abuse of the elderly through the screening instruments.
