Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate differences in Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) among orthognathic patients with different skeletal malocclusions before initiating orthodontic treatment.
Methods: 150 patients were evaluated for OHRQoL at the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department at Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine. OHRQoL was measured using: (1) Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) for generic OHRQoL; (2) Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire (OQLQ) for condition-specific OHRQoL; and (3) the 12-item oral quality of life instrument (12-item OQOL) for generic OHRQoL. Cephalometric measurements were used to categorize facial types then two-sample t-tests and one-way ANOVAs were employed to analyze OHRQoL across groups.
Results: OHIP-14, OQLQ, and 12-item OQOL baseline scores were statistically different between skeletal Class I, II, and III patients (p < 0.05), with Class II patients showing the highest scores. No significant differences were found between vertical patterns (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: OHRQoL is different between skeletal Class I, II, and III patients with Class II patients reporting lower quality of life.
期刊介绍:
Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery founded as Mund-, Kiefer- und Gesichtschirurgie is a peer-reviewed online journal. 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. Accepted articles are rapidly accessible online.Clinical studies submitted for publication have to include a declaration that they have been approved by an ethical committee according to the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki 1964 (last amendment during the 52nd World Medical Association General Assembly, Edinburgh, Scotland, October 2000). Experimental animal studies have to be carried out according to the principles of laboratory animal care (NIH publication No 86-23, revised 1985).
