“…All studies retrieved were representative for Western countries: Canada , Germany , Belgium , Scotland , New Zealand and Australia . The barriers experienced in these countries are almost identical, and the percentage of older patients does not vary much 14% (New Zealand/Australia) and 21% (Germany) (http://www.indexmundi.com; http://www.sdi.co.uk).…”

The most common barriers of delivering oral health care to older people were identified respectively as: the lack of adequate equipment in a care home and no area for treatment available (n = 4) and the lack of adequate reimbursement for working in a care home (n = 5). In addition, the inadequate training and experience in delivering oral health care to older care home residents (n = 2) were mentioned. Four publications indicated the loss of time from private practice as a barrier to deliver oral health care in a care home. We suggest that additional research should be initiated to investigate more in detail the barriers dentists experience in delivering oral health care to older people in their own dental practices.

“…In terms of regional factors, the present study showed that a lack of neighborhood dental clinics providing domiciliary dental care was a barrier to receiving domiciliary dental care. A lack of dentists who supplied domiciliary dental care has also been reported in other countries, particularly as this represents a high‐cost, time‐consuming service, dental equipment suitable for home service was lacking, and dentists were poorly trained for home care …”

Aim Improving the availability of dental care is essential to maintain older adults’ general health and wellbeing. Domiciliary dental care is a feasible alternative. The present study aimed to investigate factors affecting the use of domiciliary dental care among home‐dwelling dependent older adults. Methods A retrospective nested case–control study was carried out. We identified long‐term care recipients who used home care services between April 2012 and March 2014 using Japan's nationwide long‐term care service claim database. One‐to‐one case–control matching was carried out between those with and without domiciliary dental care, based on sex, age and the time home care service use was started. We carried out multivariable conditional logistic regression analyses to assess various factors associated with using domiciliary dental care. Results We identified 3 377 998 eligible homebound long‐term care beneficiaries aged ≥65 years. Of these, 278 302 (8.2%) received domiciliary dental care. Factors associated with a higher probability of receiving domiciliary dental care were: higher level of care need (odds ratio [OR] 1.99, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.93–2.06), exemption from out‐of‐pocket payment (OR 1.35, 95% CI 1.32–1.39]), living in a group home (OR 7.93, 95% CI 7.71–8.16), using other domiciliary services such as physician visits (OR 3.15, 95% CI 3.08–3.22) and a large number of dental clinics providing domiciliary dental care in their municipality (OR 1.74, 95% CI 1.70–1.77). Significant barriers to receiving domiciliary dental care were living alone (OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.62–0.66) and dementia (OR 0.89, 95% CI 0.88–0.91). Conclusions Our findings might help to improve the availability of dental care in this population. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2019; 19: 679–683.
