The outcome was descriptive in nature.Results: Twenty-three studies were included in the review (17 RCTs and 6 quasi-experimental). The studies showed improvement in all areas related to oral health of the older people after implementation of the interventions.Conclusions: Well-structured oral health educational programs may help improve the oral health of older people. However, more robust evidence is needed in this area.
