Background and Objectives: Oral disorders, frequently observed in patients with primary Sjögren’s syndrome, can profoundly affect patients’ daily lives and well-being, as oral health represents a fundamental part of general health. Saliva plays an essential part in maintaining and protecting oral health, so the decrease in its quantity and quality leads to chronic oral discomfort alongside a broad spectrum of problems. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the oral health of patients with primary Sjögren’s syndrome and establish its effect on the different domains of their oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). Materials and Methods: The research was designed as an observational case–control study with prospective data collection. Eighty patients, divided into two groups based on their oral status, participated in the study. All subjects underwent a complete oral examination. The OHRQoL was assessed using the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14). Results: The most prevalent oral manifestation was exfoliative cheilitis, while 30% of subjects complained of chewing and swallowing difficulties. The OHIP-14 summary score was significantly higher in the patients with oral lesions (26.0 (5.0) vs. 17.0 (4.0), respectively; p < 0.001). Oral manifestations, systemic involvement, medication, and periodontal indexes were significantly associated with OHIP-14 scores. Conclusions: Patients with oral alterations had a substantially decreased OHRQoL. These findings emphasize the importance of oral diseases for patients’ well-being. Therefore, it is essential for dentists to be included in the multidisciplinary teams managing primary Sjögren’s syndrome, as improving patients’ oral status would lead to better oral health and enhanced OHRQoL.

Background/Aim. Mandibular prognathism as one of the more severe forms of dentofacial deformities impairs the oral functions and appearance of the patient's face and represents a psychosocial handicap with a negative impact on their quality of life. This study aims was to assess the impact of orthodontic-surgical treatment on the quality of life of patients with mandibular prognathism. Methods. The study involved 40 patients (19 men and 21 women, mean age 24.1 ? 4.10) who underwent orthodontic-surgical treatment of mandibular prognathism. All patients completed two questionnaires, the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) and the Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire (OQLQ), before the start of treatment and 12 months after the completion of treatment. Results. Both questionnaires showed an improvement in the quality of life compared to the condition before the start of treatment. According to the OQLQ questionnaire, there was a postoperative improvement in quality of life (M = 24.83 ? 12.99) compared to the preoperative period (M = 51.28 ? 15.2). According to the OHIP questionnaire, there was a postoperative improvement in quality of life (M = 11.34 ? 2.99) compared to the preoperative period (M = 20.8 ? 6.88). The improvement of quality of life 12 months after treatment occurred in all segments measured by both questionnaires. Conclusion. Orthodontic-surgical treatment of mandibular prognathism improves all oral functions, the appearance of the patient's face, and thus improves the quality of life.
