This review aimed at evaluating the state of availability, accessibility and model of delivery of oral health services in prisons, globally. Five databases of peer-reviewed literature and potential sources of grey literature were systematically searched. Inclusion criteria encompassed oral health papers related to prisons globally, with exclusion of certain article types. Selection involved independent evaluations by two researchers, followed by quality assessment. Data on the availability of oral health interventions in prisons came from 18 countries, while information on the model of delivery of the services is scarce. In addition, two sets of individual and organizational barriers toward oral health service uptake in prisons were revealed and discussed in the text. Lack of oral health services in prisons affects people living in prisons and jeopardizes their reintegration. Urgent and concrete international actions are required to ensure the availability, accessibility, and quality of oral health services among people living in prisons.
本综述旨在评估全球监狱中口腔卫生服务的可及性、可及性和提供模式。系统地搜索了五个同行评议文献数据库和潜在的灰色文献来源。纳入标准包括与全球监狱相关的口腔健康论文，排除了某些类型的文章。选择涉及两名研究人员的独立评估，然后进行质量评估。监狱中口腔健康干预措施的可及性数据来自 18 个国家，而服务提供模式的信息则很少。此外，文中还揭示并讨论了两套针对监狱中口腔卫生服务获取的个人和组织障碍。监狱中缺乏口腔卫生服务会影响监狱中的居民，并危及他们的重新融入社会。需要采取紧急和具体的国际行动，以确保监狱居民能够获得、获得和享受口腔卫生服务的质量。
