Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have persistent healthcare access, infrastructure, and workforce capacity concerns, making oral and maxillofacial illnesses a significant global health issue. The landlocked nation of Kyrgyzstan demonstrates these challenges because it struggles with high dental caries rates and maxillofacial trauma along with congenital anomalies while having minimal resources. This study explores how Kyrgyzstan addresses barriers in dentistry and maxillofacial surgery to guide low- and middle-income countries in building effective healthcare systems despite limited resources. A thorough search method using PubMed and Scopus databases along with Google Scholar and regional databases from 2008 to 2025 together with grey literature from the Kyrgyz Ministry of Health and WHO reports and NGO publications, was conducted to analyze the topic. The analysis included peer-reviewed articles, national surveys together with case reports, surgical protocols and public health interventions leading to the evaluation of 35 essential studies. The research demonstrates important progress through tele-dentistry that connects remote patients and 3D-printed prosthetics that cut costs by 40% and fluoride varnish programs run by communities that decreased pediatric tooth decay rates by 30%. The research identifies three major obstacles in Kyrgyzstan which include limited technology access in rural clinics and payment-based healthcare and slow adoption of AI policies. The adaptive strategies of Kyrgyzstan demonstrate that innovation together with local context and cross-sector collaboration and sustained funding enable the overcoming of resource limitations. The review demands scalable equity-focused models while promoting South-South knowledge exchange to improve oral healthcare in comparable low-resource settings.
