Abstract
Individuals seeking orthodontic treatment combined with orthognathic surgery (OS) have a high prevalence of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), but the relationship between TMD diagnoses and dentofacial deformities (DFDs) is still controversial. Therefore, this cross-sectional study with a comparison group aimed to analyze the association between dentofacial deformities and TMDs. METHODOLOGY Eighty patients undergoing OS were consecutively selected from the stomatology department of the Federal University of Paraná between July 2021 and July 2022. Forty patients who would undergo OS composed the group of participants with DFD, and forty who received other types of attention and did not present changes in the dental bone bases formed the group without DFDs (DFDs and no DFDs groups). The groups were matched for sex, age, and self-reported ethnicity. The diagnostic criteria for TMDs (DC/TMDs) were used to diagnose TMD based on the Axis I criteria. The psychosocial aspects, oral behaviors in wakefulness, and sleep bruxism were evaluated through the Axis II criteria. The data were analyzed with a 5% significance level. RESULTS The presence of DFDs was significantly associated with arthralgia (p = 0.01). The other types of TMDs were not associated with DFDs. Comorbidities, habits, and psychosocial variables were not associated with DFDs at a level of 0.05. (p > 0.05). In analyzing the participants with arthralgia, the ones with this condition presented higher frequencies of sleep bruxism (p = 0.046). CONCLUSIONS Participants with DFDs presented a significantly higher frequency of arthralgia when compared to no DFDs ones. Sleep bruxism was associated with the occurrence of joint TMDs in these participants.

Development of a patient-reported outcomes and experience measure for Orthognathic surgery: validation of the Northwick Park Orthognathic Questionnaire (NOQ). Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2021; 51:659-664. [PMID: 34756661 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijom.2021.10.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2020] [Revised: 10/14/2021] [Accepted: 10/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Orthognathic surgery aims to correct dentoskeletal and facial discrepancies. The expected benefits are functional, cosmetic, and psychological. In a previous publication, this group assessed the determinants of patient satisfaction to formulate the Northwick Park Orthognathic Questionnaire (NOQ). The aim of the present study was to validate this questionnaire. A total of 118 postoperative patients prospectively completed the NOQ, 30 of whom completed the questionnaire a second time. The mean completion rate was 87.6 ± 10%. Response reproducibility was high: 92% of patients gave identical responses (range 81-100%). The intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) was 0.96 (0.96 ± 0.072). Average test-retest scores for each domain were as follows (range in parenthesis): reasons for treatment 93% (60-100%), preoperative experience 96% (81-100%), preparation for surgery 95% (81-100%), inpatient experience 89% (55-100%), post-discharge experience 83% (55-100%), benefits of treatment 92% (71-100%), overall patient education 91% (62-100%). Internal validity using Cronbach's alpha was 0.72 (standard deviation 0.23, range 0.5-1). The results confirm the consistency of responses and the reliability of the information collected with the NOQ. The NOQ is a novel questionnaire and a valid metric to quantify a patient's perception of their experience. Its adoption may aid in making targeted improvements to patient care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify the barriers and strategies perceived by orthodontists when obtaining consent from their adult patients concerning patients' comprehension or recollection of treatment information. SETTINGS AND SAMPLE POPULATION The sample comprised 12 orthodontists working in 8 different cities in Alberta, Canada. METHODS An exploratory investigation using qualitative inquiry was conducted. Participants were recruited through a combination of purposive, maximum variation and snowball sampling. Data were collected through audio-recorded, semi-structured interviews until saturation was reached. Then, data were analysed using thematic analysis. Quality and credibility were achieved by employing member checks, memo writing and analyst triangulation strategies. RESULTS Two major themes were identified, with subthemes: (1) Challenges that may interfere with patients' comprehension and recollection of treatment information (i. patients' internal barriers, ii. patients' external barriers and iii. financial barriers); and (2) strategies to optimize information delivery and communication (i. tailoring the content to be delivered, ii. communication fashion, iii. communication timing and iv. being accommodative). CONCLUSION The participants reported barriers that may be overlooked in the daily routine of orthodontic practices. Information is provided that may guide orthodontists to overcome or minimize these challenges, increase patient comprehension and improve the quality of informed consent processes.

Abstract
Background Orthognathic Surgery (OGS) is a surgery for patients with dento-facial deformity but not all patients are satisfied with its outcome. The purpose of this study is to find out the short-term and long-term psychological impact and quality-of-life of OGS. Methods 77 participants receiving OGS and 32 age and gender-matched controls were enrolled. The data of questionnaires were collected before OGS, one month and 9 months after OGS, including short form of the Derriford-Appearance-Scale (DAS-24), Big-Five-Inventory (BFI), Hospital-Anxiety-and-Depression-Scale (HADS), Pittsburgh-sleep-quality-index (PSQI), and 36-Item Short-Form-Health-Survey (SF-36). Variables were presented as mean ± standard deviation or frequency. Paired t-test, ANOVA and MANOVA were used to evaluate the pre-and post-surgery data. Results Short-term and long-term satisfaction of OGS was high. Before OGS, BFI showed the extraversion had significant difference between the male and female OGS subgroups. Several domains of DAS-24 were significantly different between the OGS and the control groups. Both groups had no significant difference in PSQI, HADS and SF-36, except sleep-efficiency. After OGS, many domains of DAS-24 were significantly improved and the improvement persisted to 9 months later. Sleep-latency, physical-function, role-limitations-due-to-physical-health and social-functioning exacerbated after OGS. Sleep-latency, physical-function, and social-functioning were improved 9 months after OGS, but sleep-efficiency and role-limitations-due-to-physical-health were still significantly worse than controls. Conclusion People received OGS for unfavorable appearance and the surgery could decrease their distress of appearance and impact to their daily living. Through long-term assessment, we should pay attention to sleep problems and role-limitations-due-to-physical-health after OGS.

Abstract
Introduction: Patients’ decisions to undergo major surgery such as orthognathic treatment are not just about how the decision is made but what influences the decision. Objectives: The primary objective of the study was to identify the key processes involved in patients’ experience of decision making for orthognathic treatment. Methods: This study reports some of the findings of a larger grounded theory study. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews of patients who were seen for orthognathic treatment at a teaching hospital in the United Kingdom. Twenty-two participants were recruited (age range 18–66 y), of whom 12 (male = 2, female = 10) were 6 to 8 wk postsurgery, 6 (male = 2, female = 4) were in the decision-making stage, and 4 (male = 0, female = 4) were 1 to 2 y postsurgery. Additional data were also collected from online blogs and forums on jaw surgery. The data analysis stages of grounded theory methodology were undertaken, including open and selective coding. Results: The study identified the central role of dental care professionals (DCPs) in several underlying processes associated with decision making, including legitimating, mediating, scheduling, projecting, and supporting patients’ decisions. Six categories were related to key aspects of decision making. These were awareness about their underlying dentofacial problems and treatment options available, the information available about the treatment, the temporality of when surgery would be undertaken, the motivations and expectation of patients, social support, and fear of the surgery, hospitalization, and potentially disliking their new face. Conclusion: The decision-making process for orthognathic treatment is complex, multifactorial, and heavily influenced by the role of DCPs in patient care. Understanding the magnitude of this role will enable DCPs to more clearly participate in improving patients’ decision-making process. The findings of this study can inform future quantitative studies. Knowledge Transfer Statement: The results of this study can be used both for informing clinical practice around enabling decision making for orthognathic treatment and also for designing future research. The findings can better inform clinicians about the importance of their role in the patients’ decision-making process for orthognathic treatment and the means to improve the patient experience. It is suggested that further research could be conducted to measure some of the key constructs identified within our grounded theory and assess how these change during the treatment process.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES (1) To assess the effectiveness of the Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire (OQLQ) and the Child Oral Health Impact Profile (COHIP) to detect differences in Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) between pediatric patients with dentofacial deformities and controls. (2) To assess for correlations between scores from the OQLQ and COHIP domains with the type and severity of the skeletal mal-relationship. (3) To assess if the COHIP and OQLQ were identifying unique or overlapping OHRQoL concerns. MATERIALS AND METHODS Subjects were under age 18, presented with a dentofacial deformity, and completed both surveys. Matched controls completed the same. Severity for conditions was recorded via overjet, overbite, and ANB values and subjects were classified as skeletal Class I, II, or III. RESULTS Enrollment yielded 30 subjects and 31 controls. For the OQLQ, significant differences between subjects and controls were found for the Facial Esthetics domain, Oral Function domain, and total score. For the COHIP, significant differences were found for the Social/Emotional Well-Being and Self-Image domains plus total score. There were no significant correlations between the severity of the condition as measured by overjet and reported OHRQoL for any domains. CONCLUSIONS The OQLQ and COHIP are effective at detecting significant OHRQoL differences between pediatric patients with dentofacial deformities and controls. Although there is some overlap in the results, the instruments appear to identify different OHRQoL concerns.

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
Appropriate patient information is essential to improving patient experience. This prospective audit looked at compliance with the Queen Victoria Hospital (QVH) orthognathic information patient protocol and patient opinion regarding information provision. A total of 77 patients participated, with 75 reporting that they received sufficient information to make an informed decision. Prior to attending the MDT, 69 patients had read the information leaflet, although only 37 had accessed the British Orthodontic Society (BOS) online resource. Despite a general trend in the use of online resources, patients do not necessarily choose to access information online. During the development of electronic information resources, we need to explore how to utilise new technology to continue improving patient experience during the consent process.

Abstract
To explore patients' experiences of orthognathic treatment for facial asymmetry and their adaptation to facial changes after surgery, we did a qualitative, cross-sectional study of patients after treatment for non-cleft asymmetry at two UK sites. A total of 15 patients aged 19-40 years were approached after being identified using patient databases and clinical notes. Individual and photo-elicitation interviews were conducted covering experiences prior to treatment, during treatment, and after surgery. Interviews were transcribed and thematic narrative analysis undertaken. Participants were largely positive about their orthognathic treatment. The following themes were identified: preoperative (becoming aware, negative impacts of asymmetry, committing to treatment, establishing expectations), pre-surgery orthodontics and inpatient experiences (challenges and coping strategies, preparedness, support, and shared experiences); and postoperative (surgery as 'worth it', positive impacts of treatment, adapting to facial change). Undergoing orthognathic surgery was portrayed as a journey involving recognisable narratives (treatment unfinished, threat of liminality, treatment as resolution, and treatment as transformation). Patients' experiences of facial asymmetry are associated with feeling 'abnormal', and negative impacts, and orthognathic treatment for facial asymmetry is worthwhile. Having the feeling that something is 'wrong' legitimised by clinicians allows patients access to a recognisable treatment narrative (resolution). Orthognathic treatment is also described as transformation from 'normal abnormality' to being 'normal'. Nevertheless, the associated challenges can be frustrating, particularly if resolution is hard to envisage. Further psychological input could help patients cope with these challenges and the complex process of adapting to facial change.

Abstract
The ideal age to undergo orthognathic surgery approximates the age of majority, and as a result a considerable portion of the patient population undergoing orthognathic surgery are legal minors. When a patient cannot legally provide consent, assent is often sought. Assent for surgical orthodontics is complicated by particular changes in cognitive variables during adolescence, the multiphased and multi-provider treatment course, and the intervention's elective nature. Ultimately, inclusion of a high-quality assent process can help identify patients most likely to benefit from orthognathic surgery and increase patient satisfaction.

Abstract
Summary
Background
Orthognathic surgery involves a change in the patient’s functional and aesthetic aspects.
Objective
The objective was to answer the following focused question: what is the impact on quality of life (QoL; aesthetic, function, social, and psychological aspects) in patients undergoing orthodontic-surgical treatment?
Search methods
Appropriate word combinations and truncations were selected and tailored specifically for each electronic database: PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, PsycInfo, and Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature and gray literature.
Selection criteria
Studies that met the following criteria was included: patients with dentofacial deformity (P); surgical correction through orthodontic-surgical treatment (E/I); before orthodontic-surgical treatment or patients with no dentofacial deformity (C); QoL (O); cross-sectional, cohort, case-control and randomized or non-randomized clinical trial (S).
Data collection and analysis
In phase 1, two reviewers independently reviewed the titles and abstracts of all references. All articles that did not meet the inclusion criteria were excluded. In phase 2, the same reviewers completely read the selected articles independently.
Results
A total of 2879 articles were retrieved during the final database search. Fifty-two articles were selected for full reading, of which 16 were excluded, resulting in 36 included articles. The meta-analysis was performed using 13 of the selected studies. When comparing the period before any treatment with the post-operative period of 4–8 weeks, there was an association only for facial aesthetics (mean difference = 3.00; 95 per cent confidence interval = 1.10–4.89; inconsistency index = 63 per cent). The comparison between the period before any treatment with the 6 month post-operative period showed an improved QoL in all of the domains evaluated and, when comparing data after the orthodontic-surgical preparation (before surgery) and after 5–12 months of surgery, there was also statistical significance with an increased QoL for all of the domains evaluated.
Conclusions
In conclusion, based on the results of this systematic review and meta-analysis, the evidence suggests an improvement in the QoL of patients undergoing orthodontic-surgical treatment regarding aesthetic, functional, social, and psychological aspects.

Abstract
PURPOSE Nearly 10% of patients remain dissatisfied after orthognathic surgery, largely because of psychoeducational or psychosocial factors. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a psychoeducationally based group intervention to improve preoperative preparation of orthognathic surgical patients and their caregivers. MATERIALS AND METHODS The intervention consisted of 2 group sessions, with each session lasting 2 hours. The sessions provided realistic expectations of the surgery, offered teaching strategies for coping with pre- and postoperative symptoms of psychopathology, and highlighted the importance of social support. Feasibility was based on attendance, homework completion, and data collection rates, and acceptability was based on post-treatment participant satisfaction scores on the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire-8 (CSQ-8) and credibility and expectancy scores on 2 subscales of the Credibility/Expectancy Questionnaire-Modified (CEQ-M). RESULTS Twenty-six orthognathic surgical patients were recruited from an outpatient oral and maxillofacial surgery clinic to attend the group-based intervention. Seventy percent of patients who attended at least 1 session completed the 2 sessions, and 64% of those who attended the 2 sessions completed at least 1 homework assignment. The authors successfully collected 84% of the total measures given to patients and their caregivers. The mean satisfaction rating of the patients was 30.12 of 32 (CSQ-8; n = 13; standard deviation [SD], 2.33), the mean credibility rating of the patients and their caregivers was 25.2 of 27 (CEQ-M; n = 20; SD, 1.85), and the mean expectancy rating of the patients and their caregivers was 20.54 of 27 (CEQ-M; n = 20; SD, 4.39). CONCLUSION The psychoeducationally based group intervention was feasible and acceptable for participants and their caregivers. This article offers suggestions to further improve the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention, including optimizing standardization of data collection procedures, decreasing barriers to access, and increasing participant engagement.

Abstract
Objective: To gain an experiential account of the processes of change associated specifically with orthognathic surgery. Design: A qualitative design was used. Semistructured interviews were carried out with 7 participants approximately 1 week before and 6-8 weeks after surgery. The data were analyzed using interpretative phenomenologic analysis (IPA). Setting: Participants were recruited from a NHS Dental Hospital. Participants: Patients aged 16 to 25 years scheduled to undergo orthognathic surgery on both the upper and lower jaws were purposively sought to participate. Seven participants aged between 18 and 25 years and who had undergone a bimaxillary osteotomy completed interviews (5 females and 2 males). Results: Themes were identified in connection with the overall journey of treatment being a rite of passage; the treatment’s role in raising awareness about the anomalies in appearance; the initial shock at the changes that followed surgery; the uncertainty about treatment; the impact of actual negative reactions of others; and the role of significant others in the decision-making process. Conclusions: Participants described undergoing a much more complex process of adjustment to change in appearance than has been identified elsewhere within the literature, and the study highlights the nuanced fashion in which both medical and parental communication influence patient expectation and experience of surgery. There is a need to improve communication between clinicians, families, and young adults seeking orthognathic surgery. Further studies are needed to investigate the processes associated with seeking to change facial appearance resulting from other forms of dentofacial condition.

Determinants for further wishes for cosmetic and reconstructive interventions in 1652 patients with surgical treated carcinomas of the oral cavity. Maxillofac Plast Reconstr Surg 2017; 39:26. [PMID: 28944220 PMCID: PMC5583133 DOI: 10.1186/s40902-017-0125-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2017] [Accepted: 08/01/2017] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The impairment of the appearance is a major problem for patients with carcinomas of the oral cavity. These patients want to recover their preoperative facial appearance. Some do not realize that this is not always possible and hence develop a desire for further cosmetic and reconstructive surgery (CRS) which often causes psychological problems. Method The desire of patients for CRS (N = 410; 26%) has been acquired in this DÖSAK rehab study including multiple reasons such as medical, functional, aesthetic and psychosocial aspects. They relate to the parameters of diagnosis, treatment and postoperative rehabilitation. Patients without the wish for CRS (N = 1155; 74%) served as control group. For the surgeons, knowledge of the patient’s views is relevant in the wish for CRS. Nevertheless, it has hardly been investigated for patients postoperatively to complete resection of oral cancer. In this retrospective cross-sectional study, questionnaires with 147 variables were completed during control appointments. Thirty-eight departments of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery took part, and 1652 German patients at least 6 months after complete cancer resection answered the questions. Additionally, a physician’s questionnaire (N = 1489) was available. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS vers. 22. Results The patient’s assessment of their appearance and scarring are the most important criteria resulting in wishes for CRS. Furthermore, functional limitations such as eating/swallowing, pain of the facial muscles, numb regions in the operating field, dealing with the social environment, return to work, tumour size and location, removal and reconstruction are closely related. Conclusion The wish for CRS depends on diverse functional psychosocial and psychological parameters. Hence, it has to be issued during conversation to improve rehabilitation. A decision on the medical treatment can be of greater satisfaction if the surgeon knows the patients’ needs and is able to compare them with the medical capabilities. The informed consent between doctor and patient in regard to these findings is necessary.

Abstract
Objective To identify and critically appraise the literature on the psychosocial outcomes of orthognathic surgery, reflect on the clinical and theoretical implications, and suggest avenues for future research. Design A search of the literature was completed using the databases Web of Science, MEDLINE, and PsycINFO to identify English-language articles published since January 2001 that have reported a measure of psychosocial functioning posttreatment. Results A total of 38 articles were eligible for inclusion in the review. The studies reported improvements in areas such as satisfaction with facial appearance, self-confidence, self-esteem, anxiety, and social functioning. Small percentages of patients were left dissatisfied or had difficulty adjusting to appearance change despite the absence of treatment complications. Gains in psychosocial functioning were maintained over several years, and satisfaction increased over time. Conclusions There are consistent positive outcomes reported as a result of orthognathic surgery, but conclusions are limited by methodological issues in study design such as small sample sizes, limited use of control groups, and measures that fail to tap into relevant areas of psychosocial functioning. In addition, further exploration is required of processes such as adjustment to facial change and the role of psychological support during treatment.

Abstract
The decision on whether starting an orthosurgical treatment depends on the negative
esthetic, functional and social impact the dentofacial deformity has on the quality
of life of each patient. The objective of this article is to demonstrate the
importance of assessing the quality of life of these individuals by means of applying
specific questionnaires before treatment onset in order to increase the success rate
of orthosurgical treatment. These questionnaires assess not only the esthetic factor,
but also the functional conditions that may be affected as well as the psychological
issues related to self-esteem and sociability, all of which must be assessed in order
to enable the development of an individual treatment plan that meets patient's
expectations. Thus, a more predictable level of satisfaction can be achieved at
treatment completion, not only from a normative standpoint stated by professionals,
but also from a subjective standpoint stated by patients. Although not enough
comparable data is available in the literature for us to assess the extent of
improvements produced by orthosurgical treatment, a few recent reports conducted by
different universities around the world reveal a good response from the majority of
patients after surgery, demonstrating great satisfaction with regard to esthetic,
functional and psychosocial factors. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that the
current objective of orthodontic treatment associated with orthognathic surgery
consists not only in treating the esthetic functional components of dentofacial
deformities, but also in considering patients' psychological factor.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the psychosocial well-being of prospective orthognathic-surgical patients and controls. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty patients referred for assessment of orthognathic-surgical treatment need and 29 controls participated. All participants filled in the modified version of Secord and Jourard's Body Image Questionnaire, the Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem scale, the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire II and a structured diary developed by the authors. Patients also filled in the Symptom Checklist 90. Patients assessed their dental appearance on a visual analogue scale modified from the Aesthetic Component (AC) of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need. Professional assessment was made from study models with the AC. RESULTS Patients rating their dental appearance as AC grades 5-10 suffered from lower orthognathic quality-of-life and poorer body image than the controls, while those with AC grades of 1-4 only had poorer oral function. Self-perceived dental appearance was more important to orthognathic quality-of-life and body image than an orthodontist's assessment. Patients and controls had equal psychological flexibility and self-esteem. In all, 23-57% of patients had significant psychiatric symptoms, which explained the adverse emotions patients felt during the day. Fifteen per cent of the patients had been bullied. CONCLUSIONS Many orthognathic-surgical patients cope well with their dentofacial deformities, despite functional masticatory problems. It seems that a subjective view of dental appearance may be a key factor in finding patients with psychosocial problems. It should be a major issue when considering psychosocial support and other treatment options.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Soft tissues play the primary role of physical appearance and facial esthetics. This study aimed to establish soft-tissue cephalometric standards in North Indian adults, which can be used in diagnosis, treatment planning, and stability of orthodontic outcome and orthognathic patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A group of 60 individuals (30 males and 30 females) with normal occlusion and proportional facial profile were chosen. For the entire chosen sample, lateral cephalograms were obtained. Standard values of 11 soft-tissue measurements were determined. RESULTS Soft-tissue measurements showed that men had greater soft-tissue facial angle (92.10°) than women (89.92°). Also, they had more nose prominence (18.10 mm) than women (16.44 mm). Skeletal profile convexity (A to N-pog) of men (0.40 mm) was less than women (1.76 mm). Basic upper lip thickness was higher in men (16.60 mm) compared to women (14.24 mm), while H-angle was higher in women (16.68°) as compared to men (14.30°). In the lower face area, inferior sulcus to the H line distance was more in men (7.30 mm) than women (4.80 mm). Men had greater soft-tissue chin thickness (14.10 mm) than women (12.84 mm). CONCLUSION The differences in soft-tissue cephalometric norms between men and women of North Indian faces were established, so the orthodontist or surgeon must individualize treatment planning, using local norms as the reference.

Abstract
Unfavourable outcomes are part and parcel of performing surgeries of any kind. Unfavourable outcomes are results of such work, which the patient and or the clinician does not like. This is an attempt to review various causes for unfavorable outcomes in orthognathic surgery and discuss them in detail. All causes for unfavorable outcomes may be classified as belonging to one of the following periods A) Pre- Treatment B) During treatment Pre-Treatment: In orthognathic surgery- as in any other discipline of surgery- which involves changes in both aesthetics and function, the patient motivation for seeking treatment is a very important input which may decide, whether the outcome is going to be favorable or not. Also, inputs in diagnosis and plan for treatment and its sequencing, involving the team of the surgeon and the orthodontist, will play a very important role in determining whether the outcome will be favorable. In other words, an unfavorable outcome may be predetermined even before the actual treatment process starts. During Treatment: Good treatment planning itself does not guarantee favorable results. The execution of the correct plan could go wrong at various stages which include, Pre-Surgical orthodontics, Intra and Post-Operative periods. A large number of these unfavorable outcomes are preventable, if attention is paid to detail while carrying out the treatment plan itself. Unfavorable outcomes in orthognathic surgery may be minimized If pitfalls are avoided both, at the time of treatment planning and execution.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study sought to (1) analyze the demographic profile of patients who completed combined orthodontic and surgical treatments at the Kuwait Ministry of Health dental clinics, (2) evaluate the source, type, amount and timing of preoperative patient information, (3) determine posttreatment patient satisfaction and (4) examine whether patient satisfaction is associated with preoperative information. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Of the 145 patients who completed combined orthodontic and surgical treatments at least 6 months prior to the initiation of this study, 74 agreed to be interviewed by telephone by means of a structured survey including questions covering the study's objectives. RESULTS The mean age of participants was 21.1 years; 52 (70.3%) were female and 22 (29.7%) were male. Of these 74 patients, 70 (94%) did not regret their decision to undergo orthognathic surgery and 62 (83.8%) would repeat the same treatment if it was needed. The majority of the respondents reported that the importance of treatment compliance had been explained very well prior to surgery, but that information about the associated functional and social problems was lacking. The orthodontist was the most prominent source of information before treatment began. As the presurgical orthodontic treatment phase progressed, the roles of the surgeon and orthodontist became more evenly distributed. CONCLUSION The patients who underwent orthognathic surgery were satisfied and generally well informed. However, information regarding surgical risks and functional discomforts was not adequate. Participants were more likely to be satisfied when they were provided with more information about discomfort and surgical risks.

Abstract
Accurate and timely collection of clinical records is of utmost importance in planning, evaluating, and auditing orthognathic operations. The minimum dataset guidelines of the British Orthodontic Society (BOS) and the British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (BAOMS) were published in an attempt to standardise the collection of clinical records of patients having orthognathic operations. This multicentre retrospective audit aimed to assess and compare compliance with the guidelines in 3 maxillofacial units over a 1-year period. A total of 105 cases were reviewed. Compliance varied. Documentation of altered sensation was consistently poor and too many unnecessary radiographs were taken. There may be a need to circulate the guidelines again to increase awareness and reduce variability between centres.

Abstract
This prospective questionnaire-based study was designed to determine the incidence of patients attending orthognathic combined clinics who have previously had orthodontic treatment, and to assess the impact, if any, this has had on their proposed surgical treatment. Contemporaneous and historical data from consecutive patients at different stages of treatment who were attending clinics at two London hospitals during a three-month period were included. In total 22/56 patients (39%) had previously had orthodontic treatment, and of those, it had had an undesirable effect on the current management of 10 (45%). The effects included a reduced range of dental movements available to orthodontists (8/23, 35%), undesirable extractions (5/23, 22%), and a prolonging of preoperative orthodontics (5/23, 22%). The median age at which previous orthodontic treatment had been started was 13.5 (range 11-26). Nearly a third of patients reported that they had not been advised by their referring practitioner that a combined orthodontic and surgical approach might be required. The study suggests that preliminary assessment should be improved. Patients should be informed about and prevented from undergoing orthodontic treatment that may limit future surgical management, otherwise they may have to face repeated and prolonged orthodontic treatment, unexpected operations, and potential limitations to the outcome of surgical treatment. This could be achieved through the training and education of all practitioners and the development of referral guidelines.

Abstract
Cephalometric norms are used for providing guidance to clinicians during diagnosis and treatment planning. Most classical norms are not applicable to diverse racial and ethnic population hence the purpose of this study was to establish the soft tissue norms of a North Indian population group using Legan and Burstone soft tissue analysis. The study was conducted on 60 adult subjects with esthetically pleasing profiles aged 18-25 years. Standardized lateral cephalograms were taken in a natural head position and analyzed. North Indians were found to have more convex faces, protrusive lips and acute nasolabial angles compared with Caucasians. Males had more convex faces and protrusive lips than females. This North Indian population group had significant deviations from the Caucasian standards. Considerable diversity was also found for some of the soft tissue variables in males and females.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To conduct a systematic review of studies concerning the psychosocial well-being of surgical-orthodontic patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Articles published between 2001 and 2009 were searched using PubMed, Web of Science, and PsycInfo. Only articles written in English were included. Articles on methodological issues or on patients with clefts or syndromes or studies in which treatment had included surgically assisted maxillary expansion or intermaxillary fixation were excluded. The exclusion of articles was carried out in collaboration with two reviewers. To find new relevant articles, references from all the obtained review articles were hand-searched. Thirty-five articles fulfilled the selection criteria and were included in this review. RESULTS The main motives for seeking treatment were improvements in self-confidence, appearance, and oral function. Patients were not found to suffer from psychiatric problems. Treatment resulted in self-reported improvements in well-being, even though these improvements were not found with current assessment methods. Changes in well-being were most often registered using measures designed for evaluation of the impact of oral health on quality of life (e.g. the Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire and the Oral Health Impact Profile). CONCLUSIONS Surgical-orthodontic patients do not experience psychiatric problems related to their dentofacial disharmony in general. However, subgroups of patients may still experience problems, such as anxiety or depression, as many studies only report patients' mean problem scores and compare them to controls' scores or population norms. New assessment methods focusing on day-to-day changes in mood and well-being, as well as prospective studies with controls, are needed.

Abstract
PURPOSE Orthognathic surgery is generally performed to correct facial abnormalities related to the maxilla and/or mandible, and there are a variety of reasons for which patients choose to be evaluated for this procedure. We surveyed 637 cases to determine the patients' motivating factors for seeking surgical consultation. PATIENTS AND METHODS We reviewed 637 cases from 1990 to 2006 in this study, and data were extracted from 501 appropriately completed surveys to determine why patients seek corrective maxillofacial surgery. Patients aged under 12 years and those with an identified syndrome were not included in the final data set. RESULTS The results indicate that patients with dentofacial deformities have multiple complaints related to their poor maxillomandibular relationships. However, their primary motivation for undergoing surgical evaluation is not appearance; it is their bite/function. Of the 501 patients reviewed in this study, 216 (43%) were male and 285 (57%) were female. Age ranged from 12 to 45 years. Of the patients, 76% stated that their appearance was affected by their condition, but only 15% stated it was their primary motivation for undergoing surgical evaluation. Thirty-six percent stated that their bite was their primary motivation for seeking treatment. CONCLUSION The most common reason for surgical evaluation was correction of bite or functional disability, not improvement of appearance. Most previously published studies on this subject included smaller sample sizes and showed appearance to be the primary motivating factor.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish the extent of psychological problems among patients who require orthognathic treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five aspects of psychological functioning were assessed for 162 patients who required orthognathic treatment and compared with 157 control subjects. RESULTS Analysis of variance did not detect any significant difference in the five psychological scores recorded for the skeletal II, skeletal III, and control groups. The proportion of subjects with one or more psychological measure beyond the normal range was 27% for skeletal II subjects, 25% for skeletal III subjects, and 26% for control subjects. One skeletal II subject (1.5%), three skeletal III subjects (3%), and five control subjects (3%) required referral for psychological counseling. CONCLUSIONS The orthognathic patients did not differ significantly from the control subjects in their psychological status.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that the self-perception of dental and facial attractiveness among patients requiring orthognathic surgery is no different from that of control patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Happiness with dental and facial appearance was assessed using questionnaires completed by 162 patients who required orthognathic treatment and 157 control subjects. Visual analog scale, binary, and open response data were collected. Analysis was carried out using a general linear model, logistic regression, and chi-square tests. RESULTS Orthognathic patients were less happy with their dental appearance than were controls. Class II patients and women had lower happiness scores for their dental appearance. Among orthognathic patients, the "shape" and "prominence" of their teeth were the most frequent causes of concern. Older subjects, women, and orthognathic patients were less happy with their facial appearance. Class III orthognathic patients, older subjects, and women were more likely to have looked at their own face in profile. A greater proportion of Class II subjects than Class III subjects wished to change their appearance. CONCLUSIONS The hypothesis is rejected. The findings indicate that women and patients requiring orthognathic surgery had lower levels of happiness with their dentofacial appearance. Although Class II patients exhibited the lowest levels of happiness with their dental appearance, there was some evidence that concerns and awareness about their facial profile were more pronounced among the Class III patients.
