Following title and abstract screening, 76 studies remained for full-text eligibility-screening based on predefined inclusion criteria.

In children, the overall mean and standard deviation (SD) for decayed, missing, and filled teeth in the primary dentition (d<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>mft) was 3.63(2.47), and for D<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>MFT (permanent dentition), it was 1.7(1.2).<\/jats:p>\n                <jats:p>Upon comparing overall mean caries counts in children and adults with their control groups in the included studies, untreated dental caries (D<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>T and d<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>t) constituted the dominant share of caries experience (D<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>MFT and d<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>mft) in immigrant children. For the local population, the highest proportion of caries experience was attributed to filled teeth (FT and ft).<\/jats:p>\n                <jats:p>Dentin caries prevalence among immigrants ranged from 22% to 88.7% in the primary dentition and 5.6% to 90.9% in the permanent dentition. Gingivitis ranged from 5.1% to 100%. Oral health varied greatly between studies. Regarding oral health accessibility, 52% to 88% of immigrant children had never been to a dentist, suggesting a very limited level of accessibility to dental health services.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>It is imperative to develop interventions and policies that have been customized to address the oral health disparities experienced by immigrant populations. Additionally, host countries should actively implement measures aimed at enhancing the accessibility of oral health care services for these individuals.
