“…There is a tendency among younger people to seek orthognathic surgery in greater numbers as they find themselves at a stage in life where there is greater social interaction and opportunities. A study by Silva et al, 24 reported that improved selfesteem was associated with better perception of social relationship 6 months after surgery.…”

“…Recent reports focusing on patients' satisfaction demonstrate good response after surgery, which has been confirmed by many authors. 1 - 3 , 5 , 6 , 12 , 15 , 16 , 18 Nevertheless, lack of comparable data to assess the extent of improvements produced by orthosurgical treatment has been one of the main issues with regard to the available literature. This is mainly due to lack of consensus between the different indexes used to assess such changes.…”

“…Alves e Silva et al 6 assessed the level of satisfaction of surgery performed in 15 orthosurgical Brazilian patients aged between 17 and 35 years old. Most patients (93%) claimed that surgery met their expectations, 33% had complaints with regard to the post-operative phase, especially in the first 24 hours after surgery (67%), whereas 60% complained about their eating habits in the first week after surgery (47%) and during maxillomandibular block with rubber bands (33%).…”

The decision on whether starting an orthosurgical treatment depends on the negative esthetic, functional and social impact the dentofacial deformity has on the quality of life of each patient. The objective of this article is to demonstrate the importance of assessing the quality of life of these individuals by means of applying specific questionnaires before treatment onset in order to increase the success rate of orthosurgical treatment. These questionnaires assess not only the esthetic factor, but also the functional conditions that may be affected as well as the psychological issues related to self-esteem and sociability, all of which must be assessed in order to enable the development of an individual treatment plan that meets patient's expectations. Thus, a more predictable level of satisfaction can be achieved at treatment completion, not only from a normative standpoint stated by professionals, but also from a subjective standpoint stated by patients. Although not enough comparable data is available in the literature for us to assess the extent of improvements produced by orthosurgical treatment, a few recent reports conducted by different universities around the world reveal a good response from the majority of patients after surgery, demonstrating great satisfaction with regard to esthetic, functional and psychosocial factors. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that the current objective of orthodontic treatment associated with orthognathic surgery consists not only in treating the esthetic functional components of dentofacial deformities, but also in considering patients' psychological factor.

Quality of life after orthognathic surgery: a case report

This case study aims to describe the effects of orthognathic surgery on the quality of life of a patient with class III dentofacial deformity. The protocols Oral Health Impact Profile, short version, and Orthognathic Quality of life Questionnaire were applied before and after orthognathic surgery to measure the quality of life of a subject. The data were collected from a clinical case report. We observed that, by the Oral Health Impact Profile, the quality of life was not affected by dentofacial deformity (score = 1), and that there was a 30-day postoperative score increase (score = 9), indicating a worsening of quality of life and an improvement after 90 days (score = 4). On the other hand, by the Orthognathic Quality of life Questionnaire, it was noticed that dentofacial deformity negatively affected the patient's quality of life (score = 34), and that there was a progressive improvement in scores after surgery, i.e., from score 15 to 2, showing a positive impact on quality of life. The orthognathic surgery positively influenced the patient's quality of life, requiring the application of specific protocols that accurately measure the impacts of the procedure on the individual's life.

Evaluation of life quality of patients submitted to orthognathic surgery

Abstract: Orthognathic surgery brings along many emotional changes that should be considered before and after surgery, since the patients' psychological state may be favorable and/or unfavorable during recovery, influencing their quality of life, self-esteem and appearance satisfaction.
