“…The patient's mood may be affected by the change in self-image and lack of satisfaction with life, in many cases leading to a deepening of mental health disorders, resulting in alcoholism, loss of job or conflicts in the area of family life [24]. For this reason, it seems appropriate to study the quality of life of patients following MFF [19,25,26] so that the data obtained in this way may be helpful in the future in the implementation of programs supplementing the treatment process.…”

Maxillofacial fractures (MFF) belong to the major modern medicine and public health concerns. The recovery from MFF is associated with a number of social problems. The patient’s mood may be affected by the change in self-image and lack of satisfaction with life, in many cases leading to a deepening of mental health disorders, resulting in alcoholism, loss of job or conflicts in the area of family life. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of life of patients with MFF, with respect to demographic and medical variables. The mean age of the 227 patients was 36 years. The mandible was the most frequent MFF location (52.9%), followed by the zygomatic bone (30.8%) then the maxilla (16.3%). Bone fracture displacement occurred in 79.3% of patients. A comminuted fracture was found in 71% of patients. The quality of life of patients with MFF was significantly better in all analyzed domains 3 months after the end of hospitalization compared to the initial survey carried out shortly after implementation of the treatment. Among the demographic variables, older age had a statistically significant but weak positive association with the improvement of the quality of life of respondents in General health perception domain.

“…During the monitoring study among patients with MF injuries on average 8 months after treatment in the structure of the study sample were registered relatively lower rates of psychological discomfort (associated with awareness of changes in dental status) (23.8 %), physical pain (16.6 %) and dissatisfaction with the need to change the diet (14.3 %) [12]. The results show that even 8 months after treatment, some aspects of rehabilitation of patients with traumatic lesions of the lower third of the face remain unresolved, despite the fact that compared to baseline, OHIP-14 statistically improved by 11.9±11.7 [12]. Similar results were obtained in the course of our study, except for the lower indicators of the domain of physical incapacity, which were observed in the work of Lewandoski B. and colleagues [12].…”

“…Lesions of the dental and maxillary apparatus, which develop in cases of traffic accidents, domestic, industrial or other injuries, lead to a sharp decrease in dental health, and accordingly -to a decrease in quality of life associated with post-traumatic changes in dental status [1,6,7,12,13,15,16]. At the stage of forensic dental assessment of the severity of the lesion, it is advisable to conduct a comparative analysis of the integrated criterion of quality of life in terms of differences in its indicators before and after injury, which allows to predict the potential for recovery of levels of relevant physical, functional and social domains.…”

Lesions of the dento-alvelolar system, which develop in cases of traffic accidents, domestic, industrial or other traumatic injuries, leads to a sharp decrease in dental health, and consequently to the decrease in quality of life associated with post-traumatic changes in dental status. Purpose of work – to analyze the indicators of the integrated quality of life criterion associated with the state of dental health among dental prosthetically-rehabilitated patients with a history of maxillofacial (MF) traumatic injuries. The study sample was formed on the basis of the University Dental Clinic from a cohort of patients who sought dental care with the need for comprehensive prosthetic rehabilitation. According to the analysis of medical records of dental patients, 66 persons with a history of maxillofacial traumatic injuries were selected. In order to assess the integrated criterion of quality of life associated with dental health, among dental patients with a history of maxillofacial traumatic injuries, who received appropriate prosthetic treatment, surveys were conducted taking into account all domains of OHIP-14 (abbreviated to 14 questions version of the Oral Health Impact Profile questionnaire). Mandibular fractures and traumatic injuries of individual teeth (dislocations, fractures) were the most prevalent among study sample and corresponded to 31.8 % and 27.3 %, respectively. The main causes of maxillofacial traumatic injuries were domestic injuries (43.9 %), road traffic accidents (RTA) (37.9 %), criminal injuries (10.6 %), industrial-associated (4.5 %) and sports-associated injuries (3.0 %). Prosthetic rehabilitation of the vast majority of patients, which correspond to 56 persons (84.8 %), was performed using different types of fixed prosthetic constructions, such as crowns, bridges supported by natural teeth, or installed dental implants. Majority of patients 84.9-95.5 % demonstrated high indicators of the integrated criterion of quality of life associated with changes in dental health, despite the fact of previous surgical treatment of maxillofacial traumatic lesions. Thus, in the absence of secondary deformities after surgical treatment of maxillofacial traumatic lesions, prosthetic rehabilitation of patients with the use of fixed types of prosthetic constructions supported by natural teeth or installed dental implants helps to achieve high quality of life associated with changes in dental health. The use of complete or partial removable dentures for a similar purpose provokes a relative decrease within the integral criterion of quality of life in the structure of such domains, as physical pain, psychological discomfort and social incapacity, which is due to the peculiarities of removable prosthetic construction exploitation, retention and functioning.

Objective This study assessed the test‐retest reproducibility of the Utrecht mixing ability test (MAT) and the construct validity of the MAT in relation to the Mandibular Function Impairment Questionnaire (MFIQ) in patients with mandibular condylar fractures. Material and methods Twenty‐six patients treated for a mandibular condylar fracture participated in this clinimetric study; all patients performed the MAT twice. Simultaneously the MFIQ was conducted. Test‐retest reliability and construct validity were assessed using the intra‐class correlation coefficient (ICC) and Spearman correlation, respectively. Results The ICC of the MAT was 0.906 (95% CI: 0.801‐0.957), which indicates an excellent reliability. A weak correlation of 0.386 (P = .052) between the first MAT and the overall outcome of the MFIQ was found. A significant moderate correlation of 0.401 (P = .042) was found between the retest of the MAT and the overall outcome of the MFIQ. One question on the MFIQ (about yawning) showed a moderate positive correlation of 0.569 (P = .002) and 0.416 (P = .034) for the MAT test and retest, respectively. Conclusion The MAT is an easy test to use in follow‐up of patients. The test‐retest reliability of this test is excellent in condylar trauma patients. As the validity of the MAT and the MFIQ could not be confirmed, the MFIQ may be an addition to patient's feedback about the rehabilitation process of their mandibular functioning.
