Abstract
AIM
This study aims to evaluate the quality of life in patients with Class III deformities
after orthognathic surgery.
MATERIAL AND METHOD
A total of the 40 patients (26 female and 14 male) were included. The mean age of
the patients was 24.85. Patients' ages ranged from 20 to 36 years. All patients received
orthodontic treatment before surgery. Sagittal split ramus osteotomy was performed
for single jaw patients. Lefort I osteotomy and sagittal split ramus osteotomy was
performed for double jaw patients. Patients completed Oral Health Impact Profile 14
(OHIP-14) and Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire (OQLQ) three times. [Preoperatively(T0),
1st week after Orthognathic surgery(T1) and 6th-12th months after Orthognathic surgery(T2)].
RESULTS
There was a statistically significant difference in the dimensions of OHIP-14 when
the Preoperative (T0) score, Postoperative 1st week(T1) score and Postoperative 6th-12th
month(T3) score are compared among themselves except for phycological discomfort,
physical disability and handicap. OQLQ total score and preoperative(T0) score was
greater than the Postoperative 1st week(T1) score and the Postoperative 1st week(T1)
score was greater than the Postoperative 6th-12th month (T2) scores except oral function.
When single jaw and double jaw surgeries were compared, no statistically significant
difference was found between OHIP-14 and OQLQ total scores for preoperative, postoperative
1st week and postoperative 6th-12th months.
CONCLUSION
When both OHIP-14 and OQLQ scores were examined after orthognathic surgery, the OHRQOL
of patients with Class III dentofacial deformity improved significantly.
