Abstract Background Orthognathic surgery includes improvement of morphology and function of occlusion as well as psychological perception and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of patients. The aim of this study was to determine the OHRQoL of patients with class III skeletal malocclusion before and after orthognathic surgery. Materials and methods A total of 112 skeletal class III patients including 39 (34.8%) males and 73 (65.2%) females participated in this descriptive quasi-experimental study in three groups: “prior to orthodontic treatment” (n = 25); “under orthodontic treatment and prior to surgery” (n = 65), and “after surgery” (n = 25). All patients filled out a demographic information questionnaire, the oral health impact profile-14 (OHIP-14), and the orthognathic quality of life questionnaire (OQLQ) under the supervision of the examiner. Data were analyzed using ANOVA, independent samples t-test, Mann Whitney test, and Kruskal-Wallis test. Results OHRQoL summary score changed from 14.5 prior to orthodontic treatment to 23.4 prior to surgery and during orthodontic treatment to 5.4 after surgery. These OHRQoL changes were statistically significant (P < 0.001). Conclusions Orthognathic surgery matters to patients with class III skeletal malocclusion and significantly improves their OHRQoL.

Abstract Background The objectives of this study were to investigate relationships between change in the aesthetic appearance before and after orthodontic treatment and patient-reported change in oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), and to assess the responsiveness of two OHRQoL measures to any changes from orthodontic treatment. Methods Two hundred and ten participants in a multicentre (two teaching hospitals and four specialist orthodontic practices), single blinded, randomised clinical trial with 2 parallel groups, were administered one of two age-specific questionnaires, either the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ11-14-ISF-16) or the Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ), before and after orthodontic treatment. Clinical photographs were assessed by two groups of laypeople and orthodontists using the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need Aesthetic Component (IOTN-AC). Results Two hundred and ten participants were randomised, and 197 completed the trial. Before and after OHRQoL data were successfully obtained from 110 participants. There was a mean reduction in the total CPQ11-14-ISF-16 scores of 3.9 (SD = 8.0), and a mean reduction of 34.2 (SD = 18.5) in the total PIDAQ score. CPQ11-14-ISF-16 demonstrated poor longitudinal construct validity (p = 0.155). Correlations between the change in total CPQ11-14-ISF-16 scores and change in IOTN-AC assessments were small for both orthodontists (r=-0.084; p = 0.516) and laypeople (r=-0.140; p = 0.225). There were higher associations between the improvement in the Social well-being (SWB) subdomain and improvement in IOTN-AC. Correlations between the changes in total PIDAQ scores and the IOTN-AC assessments, were higher in comparison to the correlations with CPQ11-14-ISF-16 (orthodontists; r = 0.223, laypeople; r = 0.025). There were no adverse effects. Conclusion CPQ11-14-ISF-16 and IOTN-AC measure different attributes. This demonstrated the role of SWB on children OHRQoL. Condition-specific measures (PIDAQ) are more responsive to change in self-reported OHRQoL than generic measures (CPQ11-14-ISF-16) after treatment. Trial Registration: The trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01925924.

ABSTRACT Objective:  To assess oral health–related quality of life (OHRQoL) in young adult patients with malocclusion and to measure the association between orthodontic treatment need and OHRQoL. Materials and Methods:  The study sample comprised 190 young adults aged 18 to 25 years who were attending orthodontic clinics at the Faculty of Dentistry. The Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need-Dental Health Component was used to measure orthodontic treatment need. Each participant was assessed for OHRQoL before and after treatment by using the Oral Health Impact Profile, Chinese version (OHIP-14). Results:  Patients who had little or no, borderline, and actual need for orthodontic treatment represented 21.6%, 50.5%, and 27.9% of the total sample, respectively. OHRQoL (total OHIP-14 score and score for each domain) improved after treatment (P &lt; .05). Significant differences in summary OHIP-14 scores were apparent with respect to orthodontic treatment need. Participants with high treatment need reported a significantly greater negative impact on the overall OHRQoL score. The greatest impact was seen in the psychological discomfort domain and the psychological disability domain. Conclusion:  Malocclusion has a significant negative impact on OHRQoL. This is greatest for the psychological discomfort and psychological disability domains. The orthodontic treatment of malocclusion improves OHRQoL of patients.

Background: The aim of the study was to compare the oral-health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) between cancer survivors: with rapid orthodontic treatment (TX) (up to 12 months) and standard TX (orthodontic treatment time longer than 16 months). Methods: There were 76 cancer survivors (48 women and 28 men) allocated into groups with rapid (36 people) or standard (40 people) duration of TX. OHRQoL was assessed on the basis of Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) values, measured before TX, 2 weeks and 3 months after the onset of TX, and after the end of TX. A repeated ANOVA test was used to check the statistical significance between the scores. Results: There were no significant differences regarding the OHIP-14 values between the examined groups at all stages of the examination. Both groups presented significant (p < 0.001) improvement of the values of OHRQoL at the end of TX comparing to the values achieved before the onset of TX. Conclusions: Duration of orthodontic treatment by itself had no impact on oral-health-related quality of life.
