Abstract
Purpose: This study investigates the motivations for orthognathic surgery and assesses the quality of life (QoL) and satisfaction among patients treated at a hospital over 12 months.
Methods: We employed an Arabic version of the Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire (OQLQ), used pre-surgery and at 2 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months post-surgery. This included demographic data, the OQLQ, and visual analogue scales (VAS). The OQLQ, originally by Cunningham et al., was translated and adapted by Al-Asfour et al. Additional validated questions were added to both pre- and post-operative surveys.
Results: Of 136 participants (51 males, 85 females, average age 25.1), most underwent surgery for facial aesthetics (85.2%) and bite correction (57.3%). Treatments included various osteotomies. OQLQ scores significantly dropped from 63.3% pre-surgery to 23% at 6 months, showing QoL improvement. 97.8% reported better psychological status post-surgery (p = 0.0001), with 94.1% satisfaction at 6 months (p = 0.0001).
Conclusion: The orthognathic surgery yielded positive outcomes in functional and psychological aspects, leading to high satisfaction and improved QoL in patients with dentofacial deformity.

It is designed for clinicians as well as researchers.The quarterly journal offers comprehensive coverage of new techniques, important developments and innovative ideas in oral and maxillofacial surgery and interdisciplinary aspects of cranial, facial and oral diseases and their management. The journal publishes papers of the highest scientific merit and widest possible scope on work in oral and maxillofacial surgery as well as supporting specialties. Practice-oriented articles help improve the methods used in oral and maxillofacial surgery.Every aspect of oral and maxillofacial surgery is fully covered through a range of invited review articles, clinical and research articles, technical notes, abstracts, and case reports. Specific topics are: aesthetic facial surgery, clinical pathology, computer-assisted surgery, congenital and craniofacial deformities, dentoalveolar surgery, head and neck oncology, implant dentistry, oral medicine, orthognathic surgery, reconstructive surgery, skull base surgery, TMJ and trauma.Time-limited reviewing and electronic processing allow to publish articles as fast as possible.
