Cross\u2010sectional studies assessing OHRQoL among Indigenous populations using validated instruments were included. Eligible tools were Oral Health Impact Profile\u201014 (OHIP\u201014), Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI), Child Perceptions Questionnaire 11\u201314 (CPQ11\u201314), Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS), Oral Impacts on Daily Performance (OIDP), and Child Oral Impacts on Daily Performances (Child\u2010OIDP). Risk of bias was assessed using a modified version of the Newcastle\u2010Ottawa Scale for cross\u2010sectional studies. Due to methodological heterogeneity, meta\u2010analysis was not feasible; findings were synthesised narratively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of the 184 records identified, 18 studies met the inclusion criteria, with sample sizes ranging from 109 to 1011 participants. OHIP\u201014 scores ranged from 14.9 to 30.7 across adult studies, indicating poorer OHRQoL. GOHAI scores among older adults ranged from 10.2 to 53.0 on a 12\u201360 scale, reflecting variable but often compromised self\u2010perceived oral health and functional limitation. Among children, the mean ECOHIS score was 4.4\u2009\u00b1\u20095.9, with poorer OHRQoL associated with early childhood caries. Poorer OHRQoL was commonly associated with untreated caries, periodontal disease, poor oral hygiene, tobacco use, lower socioeconomic status, limited education, and restricted access to dental care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Compromised OHRQoL among Indigenous
