Studies evaluating the integration of oral health services into primary care or related settings were eligible, including comparative and implementation studies of preventive interventions, screening, counseling, fluoride varnish delivery, referral pathways, and integrated care models. Risk of bias and methodological quality were assessed using design\u2010appropriate tools. Where outcomes were sufficiently comparable, random\u2010effects meta\u2010analysis was performed, with pooled estimates reported as risk ratios (RR), hazard ratios (HR), or standardized mean differences (SMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twenty\u2010seven studies met the inclusion criteria, including randomized trials, cohort studies, implementation evaluations, qualitative studies, and economic analyses. Integrated preventive oral health interventions were associated with reduced caries incidence (pooled RR\/HR 0.19, 95% CI 0.09\u20130.43; two studies) and lower caries burden in children (pooled SMD \u22120.45, 95% CI \u22120.54 to \u22120.36; two studies). Several studies also reported improved delivery of preventive oral health services in primary care.
