Detailed Description

This is a prospective study that evaluates the oral health-related quality of life through the application of the self-administered OHIP-14 before and after the surgical removal of third molars. The inclusion criteria were adults' patients older than 18 years, referred for oral surgery. Patients with chronic diseases and acute pericoronitis were excluded. The assessment was performed at three times: pre-surgical planning 1 day before surgery (T0), 10 days (T1) and 2 – 3 months after surgery (T2)

Interventions

  • Procedure: third molar surgical removal
    • ambulatory surgical intervention of the maxilla and / or mandible for third molar removal

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • changes in oral health related quality of life after orthognathic surgery assessed with Short form Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14)
    • Time Frame: baseline to 10 days and 2 – 3 months after surgery
    • Short form Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) was applied at 3 times: baseline, one week before surgery (T1), 10 days after surgery (T2) and 2 – 3 months after surgery (T3). A paired t-test was used to assess the mean (SD) changes in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery. The magnitude of the change was evaluated calculating the standardized response mean (SRM). The Short Form Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) is an instrument for assessment oral health-related quality of life. 14 ítems values: min = 0 / max = 56 higher scores mean a worse outcome
