PurposeThis scoping review was conducted to map the breadth of experiences in community‐based dental education (CBDE), as reported by students and clinical supervisors.MethodsThis scoping review was conducted following the structured framework proposed by Arksey and O'Malley and adhering to PRISMA‐SCR guidelines for scoping reviews. Applying specified eligibility criteria, a systematic search of four electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science) was followed by data extraction and data synthesis of full‐text articles. Research was conducted between June 2022 and September 2022.ResultsSixteen articles were identified for the final full‐text review. Utilizing a narrative thematic review, the following five domains emerged: preparation for autonomous practice, understanding of primary care dentistry, understanding of health disparities and patient needs, clinical confidence, clinical diversity, and skill development, and perspectives on quality of teaching and assessment.ConclusionCommunity/outreach dental education effectively supplements traditional dental school‐based education from the perspectives of students and community‐based clinical supervisors.

Aim To examine what is known about the public health benefits of community-based education in dentistry.Method A scoping review was conducted using a modified Arksey and O'Malley framework. Database searches were undertaken on PubMed, Medline via Ovid, CINAHL via EBSCO and ERIC, and a grey literature search was undertaken on OpenGrey, Medlar, BASE and the British Library. Reference lists of included studies were also searched. Although no formal quality assessment was undertaken, observations on methodological rigour were recorded.Results In total, 31 studies from nine countries met the inclusion criteria. Most were from high-income countries. Methodologies of included studies varied: quantitative (n = 17); qualitative (n = 5); mixed methods (n = 6); and reviews (n = 3). Several potential public health benefits were reported: increased access to dental services (including improvements in their availability, affordability, acceptability, accessibility, and accommodation); improved awareness/health literacy of students and communities; and improved clinical outcomes. The overall quality of the evidence was low and had little community engagement.Conclusion Notwithstanding the methodological limitations of the included studies, several potential public health benefits have been associated with community-based education in dentistry. Rigorously designed, methodologically appropriate research is needed, which should include engagement with communities.

BackgroundCommunity education programmes are vital tools for teaching skills, such as understanding the larger cultural, economic and social determinants of health and how these factors impact people's health. It is currently unclear whether community education programmes in the field of dentistry deliver adequate value. This review aims to scope, collate and analyse globally published evidence concerning community education programmes in dentistry from inception, to gain an understanding of the intentions for these programmes and establish whether outcomes have shifted over time from the original intentions.MethodsArksey and O'Malley's framework for scoping reviews was employed to guide the reviewers. A systematic search of electronic databases and the reference lists in key papers was conducted.ResultsA systematic search concerning community education in dentistry identified a total of 140 papers for full‐text evaluations. After further exclusions, 115 articles were selected for data charting. There was a lack of clarity in the literature concerning programmes' definitions and strategies for achieving intentions. Origins, intentions and motivations of the programmes were identified. The literature largely focused on assessing students' clinical treatment skills, contradicting the programme's original idea and intentions. Only a few studies incorporated patient and community perspectives, and the majority of assessments were self‐reported, primarily by students.ConclusionsThere is broad interest in integrating community education into dental curricula to teach complex concepts, dental public health principles and to ensure professional skills development. We identified issues in the literature around programme definitions, strategies, measurement approaches and programme success requiring additional research.
