[PMID: 38825238 DOI: 10.1016/j.jormas.2024.101934] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2024] [Revised: 05/26/2024] [Accepted: 05/30/2024] [Indexed: 06/04/2024]
Abstract
The main aim of orthognathic surgery is to provide a good occlusion and masticatory function and to achieve positive changes in facial aesthetics. The aim of this study was to determine the reasons behind patients' acceptance of orthognathic surgery and their expectations from this treatment, to assess whether their expectations were met, the change in their self-confidence and their satisfaction, and finally, to use the results obtained to inform future surgical procedures to increase patient satisfaction. The study was designed as a cross-sectional observational study and included 73 people treated with orthognathic surgery (surgery group) and 42 people with minimal crowding who did not require treatment (control group). The study found that the primary reason for requesting orthognathic surgery was to improve facial appearance and that patients had high expectations in this regard. Using the Social Appearance Anxiety Questionnaire and the Expectation and Satisfaction Questionnaire, 73.97 % of patients in our study said the treatment met their expectations and 90.41 % said they were satisfied with the overall results of the surgery. The study also highlighted the importance of surgeon-patient communication and the satisfaction of the patient's environment with the final result in determining patient satisfaction. In conclusion, since patients' high expectations of orthognathic surgery influence treatment success and patient satisfaction, it is important to know and manage patients' expectations before treatment and to have good patient-surgeon communication to increase patient satisfaction after surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study investigates the motivations for orthognathic surgery and assesses the quality of life (QoL) and satisfaction among patients treated at a hospital over 12 months. METHODS We employed an Arabic version of the Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire (OQLQ), used pre-surgery and at 2 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months post-surgery. This included demographic data, the OQLQ, and visual analogue scales (VAS). The OQLQ, originally by Cunningham et al., was translated and adapted by Al-Asfour et al. Additional validated questions were added to both pre- and post-operative surveys. RESULTS Of 136 participants (51 males, 85 females, average age 25.1), most underwent surgery for facial aesthetics (85.2%) and bite correction (57.3%). Treatments included various osteotomies. OQLQ scores significantly dropped from 63.3% pre-surgery to 23% at 6 months, showing QoL improvement. 97.8% reported better psychological status post-surgery (p = 0.0001), with 94.1% satisfaction at 6 months (p = 0.0001). CONCLUSION The orthognathic surgery yielded positive outcomes in functional and psychological aspects, leading to high satisfaction and improved QoL in patients with dentofacial deformity.

[PMID: 36896070 PMCID: PMC9989118 DOI: 10.1007/s12663-021-01622-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2020] [Accepted: 07/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose To find out if a relationship exists between the different cephalometric changes and the perception of patients before and after Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy (BSSO) setback surgery. Patients and Methods Sample consisted of 28 patients (mean age 23.78 ± 1.36 years), Male:Female = 1:1.3, with a median follow-up of 10 ± 1.8 months, with skeletal class III malocclusion treated with BSSO setback surgery. Pre- and post-surgery lateral cephalograms were analysed. The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) questionnaire was used to assess the patients' quality of life after surgery. Cephalometric data were then correlated with the questionnaire results. Results The psychological and social aspects of OHIP questionnaire were most affected. The most significant correlation between OHIP score change and cephalometric parameters was found with reduction of 'lower lip protrusion'; and significantly positive correlations were with increase in ANB angle and reduction in values of SND angle, N-B distance, lower lip length, lower facial height, mentolabial angle and angle of facial convexity. Conclusions A significant relationship exists between the subjective and objective parameters which should be considered while planning for orthognathic surgery. Results of this study could be beneficial, helping the clinicians, to emphasise on specific cephalometric variable with the patient-specific expectations.

J Int Soc Prev Community Dent 2022; 12:210-215. [PMID: 35462744 PMCID: PMC9022384 DOI: 10.4103/jispcd.jispcd_275_21] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2021] [Revised: 10/14/2021] [Accepted: 11/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the impact of self-perceived treatment outcomes and experiences on psychological aspects, reflecting the importance of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) in orthodontic practice. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire was constructed using the PROMs/PREMs concepts. It contained five parts: “Demographic data”, “Self-perceived esthetics”, “Self-perceived functional concern”, “Satisfaction of treatment procedures”, and “Psychological aspect”. The questionnaire was piloted in five experts and 50 orthodontic patients to ensure its quality, using content validity, test-retest reliability, and Cronbach’s alpha. The validated version was provided to patients who had a complete fixed appliance orthodontic treatment. These data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U test, and Spearman correlation. In addition, a multiple linear regression was used to analyze whether there were any influential factors on a psychological aspect. Statistical significance was taken at P < 0.05. Results: A total of 271 respondents completed the questionnaire. They tended to have positive perceptions toward the outcomes of orthodontic treatment. There was a significant difference in self-perceived esthetics between the male and female groups. Self-perceived esthetic and functional concerns as well as satisfaction of treatment procedures were found to have significant correlations with the psychological aspect. Sex and self-perceived esthetics were also found to be significant predictors of the psychological aspect. Conclusion: PROMs/PREMs should be considered as an important tool to assess treatment outcomes in orthodontic practice. There appeared to be significant impact of self-perceived esthetics on psychological aspects. Consequently, PROMs and PREMs should be introduced in orthodontic postgraduate programs to enhance the concept of patient-centered care in orthodontic practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study focuses on evaluating the long-term treatment outcome (10-15 years) and patient satisfaction after orthognathic treatment with bisagittal split osteotomy (BSSO). Furthermore, the aim was to evaluate whether the psychosocial factor, sense of coherence (SOC) associates with long-term patient satisfaction. MATERIALS AND METHODS Study sample consisted of 57 patients who had orthognathic treatment with BSSO. Self-completion questionnaires were distributed approximately 1.8 years and 10-15 years after surgery to evaluate treatment outcome. SOC was evaluated with a 12-scale questionnaire 10-15 years after the surgery. RESULTS After 10-15 years following BSSO, 96% of patients were highly or moderately satisfied with the treatment outcome and none expressed dissatisfaction. Less educated patients were more satisfied with the treatment outcome than those with a higher educational level. Patients who felt clear improvement in their facial appearance expressed higher satisfaction than those experiencing only minor facial improvement. Furthermore, patients with improvement in orofacial pains and headaches more often expressed high satisfaction than those without improvement of these symptoms. Patients with strong SOC seemed to have somewhat higher scores for functional aspects of long-term treatment outcome. CONCLUSIONS Post-treatment satisfaction with orthognathic treatment appears to be long-lasting. Psychosocial factors may play a role in long-term post-treatment satisfaction. Our study strongly suggests that psychosocial factors should be taken into account in the treatment planning of orthognathic patients.

Psychological symptoms and salivary inflammatory biomarkers in patients with dentofacial deformities: a case-control study. Sci Rep 2021; 11:11083. [PMID: 34040126 PMCID: PMC8155030 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-90721-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2021] [Accepted: 05/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Individuals with dentofacial deformities often display a low quality of life (QoL) through biological mechanisms that remain unraveled. In this case–control study, the salivary levels of cytokines, glutamate, and kynurenine metabolites were assessed in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery (OS), while correlating these parameters with QoL and psychological symptoms. Thirty-six patients were enrolled in control (under orthodontic treatment) and test (undergoing OS) groups, matched by age and sex. The QoL was assessed through the World Health Organization Quality of Life BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) and the Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire (OQLQ). The psychological symptoms were evaluated by the Satisfaction with Life Scale, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21). The salivary levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, glutamate, and kynurenine metabolites were evaluated. The OQLQ demonstrated increased QoL scores in the test group, regarding social aspects, facial esthetics, and function domains, without significant differences in respect to the other surveys. These patients displayed higher IL-1β and glutamate levels; conversely, the kynurenine metabolites were unaltered. The glutamate levels positively correlated with the OQLQ function scores. The data brings novel evidence about the psychobiological features of patients with dentofacial deformities, showing salivary variations of inflammatory biomarkers in these individuals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES High-angle Class II malocclusion is considered challenging to treat to a stable result and, although studies report treatment outcome in terms of morphology, patient satisfaction has not been addressed. The objectives of the present study were to examine patients' motives for treatment and satisfaction with the results. MATERIAL AND METHODS A structured questionnaire was distributed 3 years post-operatively to 93 consecutively treated patients with an initial diagnosis of mandibular-plane angle (ML/NSL) ≥34.0 degrees and ANB angle ≥4.0 degrees. Three surgical subsamples were defined: one-piece Le Fort I, bilateral sagittal split osteotomy, or a combination of the two (Bimax). Lateral cephalometric radiographs were used to assess morphological characteristics and post-treatment changes. RESULTS Questionnaire participation was 69.8 per cent. The most frequently reported motives for seeking treatment were to improve oral function (85.0 per cent) and dental appearance (71.7 per cent). Thirty per cent were very satisfied, 53.3 per cent were satisfied, and 16.7 per cent were dissatisfied with the overall treatment result. Dissatisfaction was associated with a persisting post-treatment anterior open bite (AOB), horizontal relapse at B point, and with sensory impairment. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS A higher rate of dissatisfaction was found than what has usually been reported for othognathic surgical patients, and this was associated with a persisting AOB. In addition, mandibular relapse and impaired sensory function were related to dissatisfaction and are associated with mandibular surgery. Prospective high-angle Class II patients should be comprehensively informed about the unpredictability of treatment outcomes in terms of occlusion and facial appearance.

Abstract
PURPOSE We evaluated and correlated the long-term subjective perioral neurosensory deficit intensity and oral functional behavior difficulty after maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) for adult obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). PATIENTS AND METHODS We implemented a long-term retrospective cohort study of adult subjects who had undergone MMA for OSA, with subjective assessments using 7-point visual analog scales. Adult subjects who had undergone MMA for OSA with a minimum of 5 years of follow-up data available who had agreed to participate were included in the present study. The 1-sample Wilcoxon signed rank test and Spearman correlation coefficients were used to evaluate the data. Statistical significance was set at the P < .05 level. RESULTS Of the 51 eligible subjects, 27 (53% response rate) were included in the present study. The mean age preoperatively was 59.8 years, with a mean follow-up of 12.7 years. Most subjects (85%) had, overall, reported the long-term subjective perioral neurosensory deficit intensity to be none to very mild (mode, 0; mean, 2.20; P < .05) and oral functional behavior to have none to very mild difficulty (mode, 0; mean, 1.6; P < .05). Statistically significant moderate to strong positive correlations between the subjective assessments of oral functional behavior and perioral neurosensory deficit intensity were found for chewing (r = 0.74), kissing (r = 0.50), eating (r = 0.80), speaking (r = 0.81), and drooling (r = 0.67). CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of the present study, more than 12 years after MMA for severe OSA, most subjects (85%) had minimal to no subjective perioral neurosensory deficits and very minimal to no difficulty in the subjective assessment of oral functional behavior. Strong positive correlations between the subjective decreased perioral neurosensory deficit intensity and decreased oral function behavior difficulty suggest that the return of perioral neurosensation might contribute to the return of oral functional behavior.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the postoperative safety and long-term stability of bimaxillary orthognathic patients with postponed maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) after intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy.A total of 61 patients (21 male and 40 female patients; average age [SD], 21.7 [4.7]) were enrolled. All patients underwent maxillary LeFort I osteotomy and bilateral intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy for mandibular prognathism. During the hospital stay, postoperative airway compromise was observed and patients underwent MMF with wire at the second postoperative day. Stability was evaluated by measuring the position at each period: preoperative (T0), 2-day postoperative (T1), and 1-year postoperative.Postoperative dyspnea and respiratory distress were absent in all patients. The mean number of refixations in physiotherapy was 0.62 (0.86) and the mean duration of physiotherapy was 11.6 (5.5) days. The mean amount of mandibular setback was 12.56 (5.76) mm and menton movement 0.98 (2.36) mm superiorly (T1). The mean mandibular relapse at Pog was 0.87 (1.96) mm anteriorly. Menton showed 1.11 (1.41) mm superiorly movement 1-year postoperatively (T2).Despite its many advantages, intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy requires a period of MMF which can lead to early discomfort and airway-related emergency. In this study, the physiotherapy procedure and postoperative long-term stability in the postponed MMF group were not different from those of an immediate MMF group studied previously. It therefore constitutes a viable option for oral breathers and other compromised patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to elucidate the local effects of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) in on mandibular condylar growth in growing rats. DESIGN Growing Sprague-Dawley rats received intra-temporomandibular joint injections of phosphate buffer solution (PBS), adenovirus-mediated green fluorescent protein (Ad-GFP) or adenovirus-mediated fibroblast growth factor 23 (Ad-FGF23), which were marked as groups A, B, and C, respectively. In vitro, we treated rat mandibular cartilage chondrocytes with PBS, Ad-GFP, and Ad-FGF23. RESULTS The mandibular condyles in group C grew smaller sizes than those in the other control groups due to significant differences among the experimental and control groups with the value of C-D, Q-R (P ≤ 0.05), accompanied by diminished bone mass of sub-cartilage condyles via micro CT analysis. Histologically, the length of the hypertrophic zone was diminished and was associated with decreasing chondrocyte proliferation in group C. Quantitative real-time PCR indicated significant decreases in the expression of chondrogenesis marker genes, including Type X collagen (Col X) and SRY-type box 9 (Sox 9). Moreover, elevated Ad-FGF23 suppressed chondrocyte proliferation and the expression of the chondrogenic differentiation markers Col X and Sox 9 of in vitro. CONCLUSIONS Local injection of FGF23 suppressed the development and decreased the bone mass of condyles through the decreasing the formation of condylar cartilage, specifically by regulating condylar cartilage cell viability and chondrogenesis expression.
