Abstract
Background
Oral health is essential for overall well-being, yet significant disparities in access to oral health services persist in Southeast Asia (SEA). This scoping review examines oral healthcare levels, service delivery models, quality of services, and barriers to accessing oral healthcare services in the region and to identify trends in the current literature on these factors.
Methods
Studies on oral health services in SEA were systematically retrieved from PubMed, Scopus, and Embase, without restrictions on population, language, or publication date, from database inception through July 14, 2024. Study selection and data extraction were conducted independently and in duplicate by at least two reviewers.
