Improving integrality on dental care for women in a violent situation depends on how the dentist conducts the care practices and how to comprehend the violence. For that reason, the goal of this review was to gather evidence and concerns about the role of dentists in addressing violence against women, professional responsibilities, and social obligation. At PubMed, SciELO, and LILACS were selected research and studies to substantiate and deepen perspectives about integrality on dental care attendance considering the social conflicts implied in the main complaint. Violence against women is produced in gender inequality arising from historical and social processes. Physical aggression is the main complaint. Women assaulted by their partners have a high prevalence of suffering head and face injuries. The violence’s sequelae spread to countless problems beyond the physical traces. Dentists do not be able to identify, conduct, and purpose alternatives of global treatment even though with protocols of investigation through the anamnesis. Multiprofessional discussion expands the knowledge and it is an opportunity to reinforce oral health inclusive criteria avoiding mechanical treatment with no respect or affect. Thus, this is a collective construction strategy to establish and maintenance of the ethical and social commitment of Dentistry, on what dentists improve the dental care screening, intervening, and changing behavior according to the real demand of our society.
