However, no known study has reviewed the available evidence concerning the preventative interventions by dental care professionals (DCPs) in Africa on oral STDs; hence, this scoping review was conducted to evaluate the research landscape of this topic area in Africa.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The scoping review methodology and documentation were informed by the Arksey and O'Malley's guideline, the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta\u2010analysis extension for conducting Scoping Reviews (PRISMA\u2010ScR) checklist, and the AMSTAR\u20102 guideline. Ten electronic research databases were searched to retrieve literatures relevant to the scoping review question. The retrieved literature were deduplicated and screened for eligibility based on the review's selection criteria. Data charting, collation and summarization were intended to be done in this review, but it could not be done because no relevant literature was found eligible for inclusion into this scoping review.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 523 literature were retrieved. After deduplication of the retrieved literatures, the residual literatures (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009353) were screened for eligibility for inclusion into the review, of which no eligible article was found. Hence, this scoping review was an empty review.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This empty scoping review demonstrates that DCPs in Africa do not engage in research\u2010based oral STD prevention.
