Effects of orthognathic surgery on quality of life compared with nonsurgical controls in an American population
2020, American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial OrthopedicsCitation Excerpt :Similar to previous studies,4,5,9,19,31-33 there was a wide age range of the treatment subjects with most of the patients being young adults. Sex distribution of the treatment subjects in the present study was similar between female and male patients, whereas, other studies have reported higher percentages of females.4,5,8,9,12,19,31-33 There were no significant differences in the measures of depression, anxiety, or overall satisfaction with life in patients with a facial skeletal mal-relationship compared with matched controls reflecting the general population at any of the 3 stages of treatment indicating that these patients are psychologically well adjusted.
The changes of self-esteem, sensitivity to criticism, and social appearance anxiety in orthognathic surgery patients: A controlled study
2019, American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial OrthopedicsEvaluation of oral health related quality of life in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery
2016, Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Medicine, and PathologyCitation Excerpt :Previous studies showed that patients with malocclusion are motivated to undergo corrective treatment primarily for esthetic [35] and functional reasons [36]. Other research showed that following surgery, dimensions of self-concept significantly increase from presurgical levels [30,35] and remain high at 1 and 2 years after surgery. However, Sousa and Turrini reviewed complications in orthognathic surgery in 23 publications.
Effects of orthognathic surgery on psychological status of patients with jaw deformities
2015, International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial SurgeryAn Assessment of the Quality of Life of Patients With Class III Deformities Treated With Orthognathic Surgery
2015, Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial SurgeryCitation Excerpt :When the monomaxillary and bimaxillary groups were compared with the control group for SF-36 scores, there were significant differences in vitality and mental health in the bimaxillary group and significant differences in vitality in the monomaxillary group (P < .05; Table 2). Orthognathic surgery has been reported to improve the appearance, function, self-esteem, and psychological and social features of patients with dentofacial deformity.1,3,5 In addition, with the emergence of the concept of QoL and the increase in research examining the effects of many conditions on QoL, studies have been conducted to examine the effects of orthognathic surgery on QoL.
