Over three billion people globally are affected by oral diseases. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has declared a new vision for 2030, which includes an aim to improve the quality of healthcare in the Kingdom while maintaining the efficacy of spending. The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) is a quality of life instrument that helps evaluate health status. This study aims to evaluate equity in accessing dental services and the integration of different types of dental services in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. A systematic review of the MEDLINE, ClinicalTrials.gov, and EBSCOhost Research Databases was conducted on August 1, 2021. To answer the research question, the SPIDER search tool that identified the sample, the phenomenon of interest, design, evaluation, and research type prior to conducting the review was adapted. Multiple steps were followed to identify the results. The first step was scanning and selecting the related titles. The second step involved reviewing the abstracts, and the third step involved scanning the full manuscript for all criteria to determine and validate the eligibility of the articles. Twenty-two articles remained in the final stage of the study. The first study applying the OHIP instrument in the KSA was in 2010, and the latest was in 2021. In terms of cities, nine cities accounted for research within eight administrative regions. Of the 4794 patients recruited within these reviewed articles, the highest number of patients reported was 1141 for fashion braces, while the minimum number of patients was 32 for conventional complete dentures. This study shows that the Arabic OHIP tool was successfully adapted by multiple dental studies in the KSA with various dental services and results were reported. The reviewed studies suggest that equity and integration of dental health services are well established in Saudi Arabia. Moreover, the major role of dental academic researchers has been identified.
全球有超过30亿人受到口腔疾病的影响。沙特阿拉伯王国（KSA）宣布了2030年的新愿景，其中包括旨在提高该国医疗保健质量同时保持支出效益的目标。口腔健康影响概况（OHIP）是一种有助于评估健康状况的生活质量工具。本研究旨在评估沙特阿拉伯王国在获得牙科服务方面的公平性以及不同类型牙科服务的整合情况。2021年8月1日对MEDLINE、ClinicalTrials.gov和EBSCOhost研究数据库进行了系统综述。为了回答研究问题，采用了在进行综述之前确定样本、感兴趣的现象、设计、评估和研究类型的SPIDER搜索工具。遵循多个步骤来确定结果。第一步是扫描并选择相关标题。第二步是审查摘要，第三步是扫描全文以符合所有标准，以确定并验证文章的合格性。22篇文章进入了研究的最后阶段。在沙特阿拉伯首次应用OHIP工具的研究是在2010年，最新的是在2021年。就城市而言，八个行政区内的九个城市有相关研究。在这些综述文章中招募的4794名患者中，报告患者数量最多的是时尚牙套，为1141人，而传统全口假牙的患者数量最少，为32人。本研究表明，阿拉伯语OHIP工具已被沙特阿拉伯的多项牙科研究成功采用，涉及各种牙科服务并报告了结果。综述研究表明，沙特阿拉伯在牙科健康服务的公平性和整合方面做得很好。此外，已确定了牙科学术研究人员的主要作用。
