Keywords:

Background: Dentofacial deformities have a major negative social impact because of its association with esthetic and functional limitations. The present study was conducted to assess the impact of orthognathic surgery on quality of life in patients with dentofacial defects. Materials & Methods: 52 patients undergoing dental surgery to correct dentofacial deformities of both genders were included. Group I comprised of cases and group II control subjects. Deformities were grouped for analysis into DEF. 0, DEF. 1, DEF. 2, DEF. 3 and DEF. 4 (Other Deformities). OHIP-14 was completed in three stages: 1 week before surgery (T0), 1 month following surgery (T1), and 3 months following surgery (T2). The response recorded was never (0), rarely (1), sometimes (2), often (3), and always (4). Results: Out of 52 patients, males were 32 and females were 20. OHIP- 14 score 19 at T0, 22 at T1, 7 at T2, 3 at T1-T0, -12 at T2-T0 and -15 at T2-T1. The difference was significant (P< 0.05).
