- Abstract
The availability of domiciliary dental care (DDC) is one of the efforts to reach dental care to communities with problems visiting dental clinics. This systematic review describes the progression of DDC, including the user profile of the DDC program, its advantages and disadvantages, and the education provided in the DDC program, and summarizes the recommendations reported by researchers over the past five years. There were 27 articles found in the PUBMED database after searching. A total of 2 articles could not be accessed, ten articles were not research articles, and nine articles were also excluded because they were irrelevant to the context of this study. The results showed that DDC services were dominated by older adults living in nursing homes, care-dependent parents, and school-aged children. Few studies reported in the last five years include dental health education sessions in DDC programs. The findings of this systematic review highlight the importance of incorporating dental health education sessions into domiciliary dental care (DDC) programs, particularly for older adults in nursing homes, care-dependent parents, and school-aged children, as it is a key factor for the success of dental health initiatives aimed at reaching communities with limited access to dental clinics.
