ABSTRACT

Objectives: The aim of this study was to provide a foundation for institutionalizing visiting oral health care services under the 2026 Integrated Community Care Support Act by conducting a qualitative review of domestic studies. Methods: Seventeen studies on visiting oral health care services published between 2015 and 2024 were selected for analysis. A deductive content analysis, based on the framework of Elo and Kyngäs (2008) along with constant comparative analysis, was employed. The analysis focused on three categories: (1) the goals and objectives of the service, (2) the criteria and methods for identifying and classifying recipients, and (3) the scope and content of service provision. Results: Visiting oral health care services requires a team-based healthcare system tailored to individual needs to support dignity, healthy aging, and quality of life. Beneficiaries should include not only long-term care recipients but also high-risk groups, vulnerable populations, and healthy communitydwelling older adults. Provider competency must be strengthened to deliver 11 service components, including oral function rehabilitation. Conclusions: This study presents integrated key elements necessary for institutionalizing visiting oral health care services and may serve as foundational evidence for developing service regulations. Expert consensus is required to establish detailed guidelines and advance policy implementation.
