Dentofacial deformities and the quality of life of patients with these conditions: a comparative study.
OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the quality of life of patients with dentofacial deformities and of patients subjected to orthognathic surgery to compare their results with those of patients who have no dentofacial deformity by applying the Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire (OQLQ).
STUDY DESIGN: Three groups of patients were interviewed, and the OQLQ instrument was applied to them by one examiner.
RESULTS: Results showed statistical differences between groups and suggested that patients with no deformity and those subjected to orthognathic surgery have better quality of life compared with those with facial deformity.
CONCLUSIONS: Orthognathic surgery with the consequent dentofacial correction seems to have a positive effect on quality of life.
