Abstract
Background
A numerous diseases may result in facial asymmetry, one of them is the presence of any condylar pathology. Patients with such condylar pathology resulting in facial asymmetry have a functional, aesthetic and psychological impact on them. The present study aims to identify the effect of corrective surgeries of such cosmetic deformities on the quality of life of the patients.
Case Reports
Patients diagnosed with condylar pathologies resulting in facial asymmetry subjected to the corrective surgeries. The quality of life assessment was done preoperatively and 3 months postoperatively, by assessing the oral health using the Japanese version of the Oral Health impact profile (OHIP). A total of 12 patients were operated and assessed with an age ranges of 18–42 years. Seven out of 12 patients were diagnosed with condylar hyperplasia, and five patients were having benign tumor of the mandibular condyle. The mean preoperative OHIP score was 68.25 ± 7.19, which significantly improved to 24.58 ± 4.88 postoperatively.
Conclusion
Corrective surgeries of facial deformity dramatically improves the quality of life of the patients.
