Studies identified reductions in service availability and utilisation, including patient and parent-driven demand. Changes to the configuration of services included greater rates of emergency treatment, reductions in use of aerosol-generating procedures and more use of teledentistry, as well as self-management and prevention approaches. Substantial delays to routine dental care, leading to more dental problems and ongoing need, especially untreated dental caries, were observed with a disproportionate impact on socioeconomically disadvantaged and vulnerable children and families.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The COVID-19 pandemic has had pronounced negative effects on the provision of primary and secondary dental care for children around the world. Access to care was affected by disruptions to service availability and by changes in demand for services related to parental anxiety around the risk of COVID-19 transmission. Delays in receipt of routine dental care and changes to oral health behaviours are likely to lead to an increased need for oral health services, with service adaptations needed to ensure this increased demand can be met.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2024-097256","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,15]],"date-time":"2025-05-15T02:05:31Z","timestamp":1747274731000},"page":"e097256","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Access to dental services for children: a scoping review on the impact of COVID-19 and implications for future models of care"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8532-1086","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sally","family":"Hall Dykgraaf","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Health & Medicine, Australian National University, Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2257-4374","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anthony Paulo","family":"Sunjaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Respiratory and Health Systems Division, The George Institute for Global Health, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia"},{"name":"School of Population Health and International Center for Future Health Systems, University of New South Wales, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"James","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care, Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Kidd","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Centre for Future Health Systems, University of New South Wales, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia"},{"name":"University of Oxford Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, Oxford, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025121402575016000_15.5.e097256.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"899","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(18)31707-0","article-title":"Strengthening oral health for universal health coverage","volume":"392","author":"Fisher","year":"2018","journal-title":"The Lancet"},{"key":"2025121402575016000_15.5.e097256.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0022034515602879"},{"key":"2025121402575016000_15.5.e097256.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0022034514565648"},{"key":"2025121402575016000_15.5.e097256.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0140-6736(19)31146-8"},{"key":"2025121402575016000_15.5.e097256.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(19)31133-X"},{"key":"2025121402575016000_15.5.e097256.6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.3390\/dj8020053","article-title":"Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) and Dentistry-A Comprehensive Review of Literature","volume":"8","author":"Barabari","year":"2020","journal-title":"Dent J (Basel)"},{"key":"2025121402575016000_15.5.e097256.7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.3390\/dj10050091","article-title":"Dental Emergencies and Coronavirus Disease-2019: Scoping Review of the Literature and Single Centre Experience","volume":"10","author":"Guida","year":"2022","journal-title":"Dent J (Basel)"},{"key":"2025121402575016000_15.5.e097256.8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina56120644","article-title":"Pivoting Dental Practice Management during the COVID-19 Pandemic-A Systematic Review","volume":"56","author":"Mahdi","year":"2020","journal-title":"Medicina (Kaunas)"},{"key":"2025121402575016000_15.5.e097256.9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"203","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pdj.2021.08.003","article-title":"Teledentistry and its applications in paediatric dentistry: A literature review","volume":"31","author":"Sharma","year":"2021","journal-title":"Pediatr Dent J"},{"key":"2025121402575016000_15.5.e097256.10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41415-021-3002-3"},{"key":"2025121402575016000_15.5.e097256.11","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"80","DOI":"10.4103\/jioh.jioh_234_20","article-title":"Managing pediatric dental patients during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic","volume":"12","author":"Ismail","year":"2020","journal-title":"J Int Oral Health"},{"key":"2025121402575016000_15.5.e097256.12","unstructured":"Australian Department of Health and Aged Care .
