“…Since patients with a low disease specific QOL may expect greater improvement from orthodontic treatment, such patients may choose surgical correction. As a matter of fact, significant improvement in patients' disease specific QOL after orthognathic surgery has been reported (Cunningham and Hunt 1996;Bennett and Phillips 1999;Bertolini et al 2000;Cunningham et al 2002;Nardi et al 2003;Rispoli et al 2004).…”

“…Quality of life changes have been studied mainly in relation to orthognathic surgery but not in orthodontic non-surgical treatment (Kiyak et al 1986;Flanary et al 1990;Cunningham et al 1996;Hatch et al 1998;Bennett and Phillips 1999). A longitudinal study of pre-and postoperative psychological characteristics of patients that underwent orthognathic treatment confirmed the perception that the patients benefit psychologically from the improved facial and dental appearance, and an associated increase in self-confidence was also found (Kiyak et al 1982(Kiyak et al , 1984.…”

Although quality of life (QOL) assessment is important in dentistry, it has not been fully investigated in orthodontic patients. We investigated the health-related generic QOL (entire body health) and disease specific QOL (oral health) in adult patients with malocclusions at the first visit. One hundred and twenty-seven orthodontic patients and 66 persons with normal occlusion were recruited for the study. The subjects were divided into the three following groups based on their treatment: 61 patients in need of surgical correction (SURG), 66 patients in need of non-surgical correction (NONS), and 66 control subjects with normal occlusion. Their dentofacial morphology was assessed using a specific Severity Score (SS), which was set up originally based on their cephalometric radiographs and their plaster models of arrangement of their teeth. The subjects also completed a generic QOL assessment questionnaire, the SF-36, and two disease-specific QOL instruments. The patients with malocclusions, especially SURG, had lower disease-specific QOL, although the generic QOL was equal to that of control subjects. Furthermore, in patients with the same severity of dentofacial deformities, especially SS 4 and SS 5, the borderline cases of surgical correction and non-surgical correction, there were differences between SURG and NONS in some items of the QOL. The severity of malocclusion evidently plays an important role in patients' choice of treatment, but also QOL appeared to play a significant role. The QOL assessment may contribute to the selection of the best treatment for improving QOL, especially for borderline cases with moderate degrees of orthodontic abnormality.

“…According to Cunningham et al (5) an increased interest in health-related quality of life is happening due to the possibility to widen the range of outcome measures used in clinical researches, to audit the performance of groups or individuals and to monitor health levels in the community. Dentofacial deformity (DDF) has been defined as a deformity that primarily affects the jaws and dentition although it also affects the proportions of the mid and lower face and, in the context of QOL, DDF can produce adverse effects over self-esteem and self-confidence and it may evoke undesirable social response or restrict one's lifestyle (6,7). The aim of this study is to translate into Portuguese-Brazilian language and adapt crossculturally to the Brazilian population the Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire (5), in order to provide a measurable condition-specific oral health-related quality of life instrument for patients carrying DDF.…”

Objectives: The aim of this study is to translate into Portuguese-Brazilian language and adapt cross-culturally to the Brazilian population the Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire (OQLQ). Study Design: The cross-cultural adaptation process followed six stages which are; (I) initial translation, (II) synthesis of the translation, (III) back translation, (IV) expert committee and (V) test of the prefinal version. For validation process, the OQLQ results were compared with Oral Health Impact Profile Questionnaire (OHIP-49), with the generic SF-36 Quality of Life Questionnaire and a visual analogue scale. A convenience sample of 25 patients was selected in two Southern Brazilian states of Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul. Results: Internal consistency analysis of the OQLQ-Brazilian showed good correlation for items or domains and the test-retest reliability also presented excellent intra-class correlation coefficients. OQLQ-Brazilian exhibited a weak and negative correlation with SF-36, and good correlation with OHIP-49. Conclusion: The OQLQ-Brazilian preserved and reached equivalence with its original source and the findings also corroborate that there is good evidence for the construct validity. The demonstration of its reproducibility, reliability and validity makes this instrument an additional useful parameter for evaluation of the impact of dentofacial deformity over the quality of life for Brazilians. Key words:Dentofacial deformity, quality of life, orthognathic quality of life questionnaire, oral health impact profile questionnaire, generic SF-36 questionnaire.Bortoluzzi MC, Manfro R, Soares IC, Presta AA.

“…Medical interest in quality of life measures has been inspired by success in extending life expectancies coupled with the understanding that people want to live with an acceptable quality of life and "not just exist" (Cunningham et al, 1996).…”

Objectives:To determine the validity of 3dMD Vultus in predicting soft tissue morphology following orthognathic surgery. Methods:Thirteen patients with a skeletal discrepancy that required surgical correction limited to a Le Fort I surgical advancement osteotomy were included within the study. These patients had previously undergone a CBCT scan immediately before surgery (T1) and 6 months after surgery (T2).To permit validation, hard and soft tissues were linked for each time point and the hard tissues superimposed on the cranial vault and base. Using 3dMD Vultus virtual surgery was carried out to position the mandible and maxilla at T1 to the post-surgical position at T2. The resulting 3D soft tissue prediction mesh was then compared to the actual soft tissue mesh at T2 by segmenting both meshes at distinct anatomically areas of the face. The absolute distance between meshes for each region was then calculated using a custom developed computer program.
