Violence against women is a social fact that results from gender inequality and, in recent years, it has been the subject of several discussions. Legal odontology is an area of odontology that can be used to help combat this violence. The recognition and interpretation of bite marks and injuries is an important aspect of legal odontology, which in turn can not only link a suspect to the crime, but also explicit the type of violence as well as the time between its production and identification. The objective of the present study was to verify the prevalence of violence and bite marks in women victims of violence in the cities of São José do Rio Preto and São Carlos, located in the state of São Paulo, during 2019. For this purpose, a questionnaire was prepared to request the relevant data to the study, which in turn were sent to the CRAM (Centro de Referência de Atendimento às Mulheres) of São José do Rio Preto, where few attendances contained bite marks. Additionally, the general data of the police reports from the Delegacia da Mulher (DDM) of São José do Rio Preto and São Carlos were requested via email and telephone. Through questioning of DDM employees from both cities, it was found that there is no record of bite marks in the police reports. It was found that not only the prevalence of violence against women is still recurrent and has been worsening , but also and that , when reporting the cases of women victims of violence, the presence or absence of bites is neglected, showing that there is still much to be accomplished in order to prevent violence against women.
