• Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples
• oral health
• inequalities

This overview revealed that substantial oral health inequalities exist between Indigenous and non-Indigenous child and adult populations in the United States, Canada, Brazil, Australia and New Zealand, with evidence suggesting that these inequalities are increasing.

A number of reasons are discussed in the paper.
