BACKGROUND
Regular use of oral and dental services by the elderly is one of the important factors in reducing oral and dental diseases. This study aimed to identify the factors affecting oral and dental services` utilization among elderly.
METHODS
The published articles on the factors affecting oral and dental services` utilization among elderly were found through a scoping search and using related keywords in PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science databases within January 2000 - December 2022 according to the PRISMA guidelines. The data were analyzed using the thematic analysis method.
RESULTS
Among the 2381 articles retrieved from the databases, forty-two were extracted. The factors affecting oral and dental services` utilization among elderly were classified into five main components as follows: access, demographic factors, social factors, health level, and mental factors. The results showed that income, education level, living area, number of teeth, and importance of care were the most frequent in the main components of access, demographic factors, social factors, health level, and mental factors, respectively.
CONCLUSION
Equitable utilization of oral and dental services is the right of all members of the society, especially the elderly. Therefore, it is necessary to provide the elderly with suitable conditions to utilize such services, which are mostly luxury items. Furthermore, increasing the elderly's awareness and encouraging them to use oral and dental services regularly can help reduce the burden of oral and dental diseases.
背景
老年人定期使用口腔和牙科服务是减少口腔和牙齿疾病的重要因素之一。本研究旨在确定影响老年人口腔和牙科服务利用的因素。
方法

结果
从数据库中检索到的 2381 篇文章中，提取了 42 篇。影响老年人口腔和牙科服务利用的因素分为五个主要组成部分：可及性、人口统计学因素、社会因素、健康水平和心理因素。结果表明，在可及性、人口统计学因素、社会因素、健康水平和心理因素这五个主要组成部分中，收入、教育水平、居住区域、牙齿数量和护理重要性是最常见的因素。
结论
公平利用口腔和牙科服务是社会所有成员，特别是老年人的权利。因此，有必要为老年人提供适当的条件来利用这些服务，这些服务大多是奢侈品。此外，提高老年人的意识并鼓励他们定期使用口腔和牙科服务，可以帮助减轻口腔和牙齿疾病的负担。
