“…It has recently been translated and validated into the Dutch language, resulting in the LORQv3-NL (Engelen et al, 2017). This questionnaire has shown the added value of prosthetic rehabilitation in improving HRQoL of patients treated for head and neck cancer, including maxillectomy patients rehabilitated with obturator prostheses (Dholam, Chouksey, & Dugad, 2016;Dholam, Dugad, & Sadashiva, 2017;Peker et al, 2014).…”

Objective:The aim of this cross-sectional study was to compare the masticatory performance and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of edentulous maxillectomy patients with and without implant-supported obturator prostheses. Material and methods:Nineteen edentulous maxillectomy patients with completed prosthetic obturator treatment in the upper jaw participated in this study. In nine patients, the obturator prosthesis was supported by implants in the remaining bone of the midface and/or skull base to improve retention. Masticatory performance was measured objectively by the mixing ability test (MAT) and subjectively by three OHRQoL questionnaires: (a) the Oral Health Impact Profile for EDENTulous people (OHIP-EDENT), (b) the Obturator Function Scale (OFS), and (c) the Dutch Liverpool Oral Rehabilitation Questionnaire version 3 (LORQv3-NL). The independent t test and the Mann-Whitney U test were used to test for differences in outcomes of patients with and without implant-retention of their obturator prostheses.Results: Patients with implant-supported obturator prostheses had significantly better masticatory and oral function, reported fewer chewing difficulties, and had less discomfort during food intake than did patients with a conventional obturator. Conclusion:Supporting prosthetic obturators after maxillectomy with implants improve oral functioning, chewing, and eating comfort. This treatment modality is a viable technique to improve the functionality of prosthetic rehabilitation in patients who have undergone maxillectomy.

“…Currently, the literature of oral rehabilitation in HNC patients is mainly concerning the impact and side effects from radiation therapy and the usefulness of different rehabilitation methods, especially implants . Investigations in the field have shown that maxillofacial and oral rehabilitation are important ways to improve oral aesthetics, oral function and QoL after HNC treatment . However, data seem to be poor and conflicting in the field of oral rehabilitation of HNC patients, and especially knowledge of the difference in OHRQoL, aesthetics and functional outcome between HNC patients and non‐HNC patients is scarce, and more investigation is needed to make stronger conclusions.…”

Head and neck cancer (HNC) is diagnosed in more than 500 000 patients every year worldwide with increasing prevalence. Oral rehabilitation is often needed after HNC treatment to regain oral function, aesthetics and oral health‐related quality of life (OHRQoL). The objectives were to evaluate OHRQoL, oral aesthetics and oral function after oral rehabilitation in HNC patients and compare it to that of non‐HNC patients. Eighteen patients treated for HNC who subsequently had oral rehabilitation (2014‐2017), and a control group of eighteen age‐ and gender‐matched non‐HNC patients treated with removable prostheses (2014‐2018) were included in a cross‐sectional study. The OHRQoL was assessed by the Oral Health Impact Profile 49 questionnaire (OHIP‐49), the oral aesthetics by the Prosthetic Esthetic Index (PEI) and the Orofacial Esthetic Scale (OES), and the oral function by the Nordic Orofacial Test‐Screening (NOT‐S). The HNC patients had worse oral function and OHRQoL than the control patients (mean NOT‐S score 4.56 vs 0.56, P < 0.01 and mean OHIP‐49 score 42.50 vs 20.94, P = 0.050). When including number of replaced teeth and type of prosthesis in the tests, no significant difference in OHRQoL was found between the groups. No difference was found in the overall aesthetic outcomes (mean PEI total score 32.28 vs 30.67, P = 0.367 and mean OES total score 48.78 vs 53.56, P = 0.321). Multiple regression analyses showed that being HNC patient compared to control patient impaired the oral function. Oral function is significantly impaired in HNC patients compared to non‐HNC patients after oral rehabilitation.

“…This tool is widely used in dentistry to estimate the effectiveness of orthopedic rehabilitation of dental patients [3,7], after orthognatic and reconstructive surgeries [5,15] to study new methods of parodontitis treatment [2] etc. However the test sensitivity of this method with regard to the estimation of quality of life in early post-operative period in the alveolar ridge area is of special interest [4,12].…”

The research objective is to study the impact of plastic surgery different methods of acute post-extraction oroantral communications treatment on patients' quality of life in early post-operative period. Materials and methods.The study included 41 patient aged between 18 and 58 years receiving treatment of maxillary sinus perforation, which was caused by tooth extraction. The patients were divided into 3 groups -14, 12 and 15 persons respectively. Plastic surgery of the oroantral communication in the first group was done in accordance with the methods suggested by the authors using collagen cone and membrane. The same surgery in the second group was done with PRF (Platelet-rich fibrin). In the third (control group), the communication was closed by the vestibular flap following the Rehrmann method.Results of patients' quality of life evaluation after plastic surgery treatment of acute post-extraction oroantral communication show the decrease of its general indicator in early post-operative period in all groups of patients. The general quality of life indicator (well-being indicator) shows a tendency to increase over the first 24 hours after the surgery in both study and control groups. This may mean that a relatively small trauma in a maxillofacial area has a significant influence on patients' perception of their condition and well-being. Absolute numbers of well-being indicator over the first 24 hours after the surgery in the third group were almost 1.5 times higher than those in the groups 1 and 2. In a comparative study of the groups 1 and 3 and then the groups 2 and 3, we observed a significant difference between well-being indicator levels (P < 0.01). The control group demonstrated the return to the pre-operative life quality values on the 7-th day after the surgery. While at the same time, those values in the study groups were equal to the pre-operative ones already on the 4-th day.Conclusions. Operation trauma which was caused by the plastic surgery for closure of acute oroantral communication leads to the decrease of patients' quality of life (oral-related conditions), which correlates with the volume of a surgery and its complexity. The use of less traumatic methods of oroantral communication plastics facilitate the statistically significant decrease of these plastics negative impact on patients' quality of life in early post-operative period and enables the earlier recovery.Вплив хірургічного усунення гострих післяекстракційних ороантральних сполучень на якість життя пацієнтів у ранньому післяопераційному періоді І.
