Throughout life, oral health is crucial to overall wellness. Elderly people's quality of life may be significantly impacted by poor oral health and untreated oral illnesses. This study's goal was to calculate the incidence of dental caries among older people in India over the last 20 years. The existing literature was systematically reviewed. This evaluation had six articles from the local community. The STROBE checklist for observational studies was used to screen the chosen studies. The necessary components of observational studies were present in all of the investigations. Calculated was the weighted prevalence of dental caries experience. The Excel application was used to create the trend. The percentage of people who had dental caries ranged from 31.5 to 100%. For the periods 2000–2004 and 2005–2009, the weighted prevalence of dental caries experience was 83.6% and 82.3%, respectively. Dental caries affects a large portion of the older population. To solve this issue, therapeutic and reparative therapies must be offered.
